Ok here goes,
The performance hall that I work at, that is attached to a high school (is over 40 years old) has just had the floor sanded. To remove the splinters and old varnish, so not very deep sanding. Then was painted black for the first time in its life and then two coats of Varithane. A week later the local symphony performed on the stage. The conductor and many of the players complained that the floor was absorbing a lot of the sound. They felt that sound for them on stage had change.
Has anybody heard of anything like this before, or is it just them?
