scenario sounds much like our "beloved" Snitzer Hall, Portland OR! Same =
idiocy!
They remodled a perfectly nice, aucoustically balanced Theatre, into a
performance "Hall". Since then noone can hear diddly. I swear, the =
aucoustics
morons seem to strike everywhere! </FONT></FONT></DIV>

situation needs to have some more of the Acoustics idiots try and =
resolve the
problem "globally", not just for the piano. Sounds to me like they made =
a
performance hall look pretty and forgot about the fact that Performances =
require
good acoustics!!!!Duh! I'd put it back in some higher mucky-muck's lap, =

I'm willing to bet that the poor piano is just fine and is projecting as =

it is possible to do. Bottom line, Fix The Hall Morons!</FONT><BR>Best
