In the Thread: Romy The Cat's new Listening Room

Post Subject: Re: A piano in a listening roomPosted by Klausner on: 6/28/2012

I have an upright piano in my listening room, but I haven't seriously investigated its sonic impact, since its also my living room and its sort of always been there and I've never moved it. I don't know how much it affects the sound resonant-wise verses having a large object in the corner. Remember, the strings are damped by default and won't vibrate unless the pedal is down. A grand piano with an exposed soundboard might make a large impact. If you really want to get crazy, get a harp (I think its highly unlikely that you play). It's extremely resonant and all the strings vibrate freely. My girlfriend is a harpist, and there's a concert Lyon & Healy in my bedroom...It might be sort of hilarious to stick it between my speakers.
