Piano Placement -- final??
-
Let's see how this site works with copying and photos....
@"ShiroKuro" Well, I think I may have figured out the piano placement...
I got out some old curtains and we went over to the house and used them to simulate the rug, and used the back side of some curtains to simulate the piano. We laid out the "rug" and made sure it was to size (8x10) and then did our best to mimic the piano's foot print (the curve is pretty iffy, but the overall length and width are accurate-ish at 5'8" length). And I brought my old bench.
Laying out the curtains with the piano straight in the room (i.e. with the piano's straight edge parallel to a wall), just looking at I can imagine that the sound will rattle around in there and be awful. So I definitely want to go with the angled placement.
So based on that, and on our experience of moving the curtain-template around on the floor, I think the best option, which was many people's favorite as I recall, is to have the rug vertical in the room and the piano at an angle.
Oh, and with this placement, the bottom left corner of the rug does not fall in the open doorway, so it should work.
Here's a better mock-up of this layout than my earlier versions, followed by some photos of the curtains laid out in the room.
What do you think??
/holy cow, that was easy!
