<DIV></DIV>Just got an email forwarded to me from tech. services at the casino
saying the piano was great after tuning with the headphones. I'm going to see
if there is a way to plug into the helpenstil pickup directly for better
quality sound.<BR>

<DIV>Hi folks,</DIV>
<DIV>One of my casino accounts just put a Yamaha gc-1 in a lounge
just off the casino floor this week.</DIV>
<DIV>It's right next to a bank of slots that is creating a c-6 ding ding
ding ding non stop.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I've dealt with this stuff for years , but this is an impossible
situation. So impossible ,that I went out and got some noise canceling
headphones (Radio Shack) with a little battery operated pickup . Worked
fairly well , but has a bit of a learning curve as to where to place
the pickup. It still picks up the slots to some extent, and makes the
piano sound kind of like a cp-80, but at least I can hear more than I was
before. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Cost about $110 but it's a $20k a yr contract.</DIV>
<DIV>RU/UP</DIV>
