The telephone rang. It was a new client, telling me about their beautiful, new, amazing high-end piano, in a beautiful room, in a beautiful home, with beautiful views. Somehow, I picked up the idea that they like beautiful things and they like them done beautifully well. They told me they plan to build a new room for the piano, and still want to enjoy and record it in the interim before the new space is ready. The problem was that the room currently available for the piano is too small and too hard surfaced to accommodate the beautiful sound of their beautiful piano. The space was overly reverberant and reflective: it sounded like a box. I had an idea!</p>
<p>I went to visit the beautiful piano in the beautiful room in San Diego, and affirmed my hunch. With some help from my friends at <a href=)
Auralex, we would place substantially sized acoustic absorption panels in the room to stop the reverberant reflection and make the piano sound as beautiful as it should, and record equally well. I also mentioned SonicPrint Panels, acoustic panels that can be customized with client-supplied artwork. In this case, of course, beautiful views seemed just the thing.
Once we had the panels made, we carefully stood them against the walls of the piano room. They really worked! Measured and observed RT60 reverb time in the space was improved by more than 50%, particularly around the room’s natural resonance near 1000 Hz. The beautiful piano now sounds beautiful in the beautiful room, and we have beautiful views as well, thanks to the SonicPrint Panels. Some day, when the permanent piano room is ready, we will move the panels in there. Life is beautiful!
