Ok, so yes, another piano question... The Director decided that it was an excellent idea to have the piano for the music we're doing to be in the middle of the stage... And it is (of course) to loud in comparison to the actors on stage at times... Group numbers are ok, but some actors don't have singing voices quite yet, and it suffers a bit. And we have no wireless mic's for the space, just shotguns, PCC's etc... so no way to individually mic the actors...
So, one of the problems I think is that it's a baby grand, and they have part of the lid open so that we can use the Piano's stand, but it is removeable, so I know re-installing this peice will help some... but I need more of a cut...
My idea was to put Fabric Batting, or egshell crate batting (for beds) underneath the piano, there is space to put it there without it being to much of seeing issue... Does anyone have expereince with using either and which works better? is there something else that one can do, maybe to the actual piano (which wouldn't cause damage) that might help this situation...
Thanks for everyone's response...
