<BR><BR>I have an elderly customer who has his Baldwin grand at the =
nursing
home with him. We've already added the acoustic foam baffles =
from
Edwards String Covers underneath the piano, which reduced the volume, =
but not
enough to satisfy the people who work there. I'm hesitant to =
recommend
adding the top cover that they sell, since it doesn't appear from =
their test
results that it will reduce the volume significantly, and is somewhat =
costly.
<BR><BR>The only thing that this guy loves in life right now is his =
piano -
plays it hours and hours each day. Of course, as his hearing =
goes, he's
probably also playing it louder so that he can hear it. Any =
ideas or
suggestions that would help him be able to continue playing without =
driving
the workers crazy would be greatly appreciated. <BR><BR>Thanks, =
