Mike, I will never again feel empathy for a 16 year old who has to wait for his dad's stock to ring the bell in order to sit at his new Steinway & Sons Grand! If it is a grand, not a baby grand, I was originally thinking you might have to have an addition added to the house for proper acoustics, but I realize now that the piano may very well be placed in the center of a music conservatory topped with a dome and a chandelier hovering 8-10 feet above the keyboards. If so, acoustics will be a problem. I might suggest a floating hardwood floor, area carpets, wool works excellent, underneath and around the piano. Curtains play and important role in sound control, as they can be opened and closed for differing qualities, blackout backing is rubberized for excellent deadening qualities. Subdued natural lighting, for ambiance, is also important not only for the musician, but for the comfort of the listener. Foam filled lounge chairs or couches are better than wood style furniture, the latter offer no acoustical value. Plants in the corners help subdue any megaphone bounce that might emit from the confluence of hardwood or plaster walls. Is the piano a grand or concert grand? Exciting week ahead... GLTA Longs!
