What is a drop 3 voicing?

The “drop” moniker comes from the way in which these voicings are generated. To create a drop 2 voicing, take a Cmaj7 chord that is stacked in thirds and “drop” the second note from the top down an octave. Dropping the third note from the third-stacked Cmaj7 creates a drop 3 voicing.

Drop 2 and Drop 3 Voicings

Drop 2 and drop 3 voicings are often a jazz guitarist’s introduction to chord voicings that do no require the root on the low sixth or fifth strings. The “drop” moniker comes from the way in which these voicings are generated. To create a drop 2 voicing, take a Cmaj7 chord that is stacked in thirds and “drop” the second note from the top down an octave. Dropping the third note from the third-stacked Cmaj7 creates a drop 3 voicing. Running each voicing through the three remaining inversions generates a total four drop 2 and drop 3 voicings. The handout below has voicings for the four most common seventh chord qualities: Major 7 (R 3 5 7), Dominant 7 (R 3 5 ♭7), Minor 7 (R ♭3 5 ♭7), and Minor 7b5 (R ♭3 b5 7). Drop 2 voicings spread the four notes of a seventh chord among four adjacent strings that are easily playable in all inversions. Play drop 2 voicings in each of the three groups of four adjacent strings: 1234, 2345, and 3456. I have presented the fingerings for the 1234 set. Drop 3 voicings feature a string skip; this means that drop 3 voicings can only be played on two sets of strings: 1235 and 2346. Here they are on the 2346 set. Once you are comfortable playing these shapes with a C root, try cycling through the eleven other roots. This will allow you to voice common progressions while moving to a shape that is in the same area of the fretboard. If done correctly, you will see minimal movement between each chord, a concept known as voice leading. Below is an example of drop 2 and drop 3 chords voice led through a repeating ii–V–I–VI. Notice how each shape connects with a different inversion. For more information on drop voicings, voice leading ideas, and other ways of looking at harmony on the guitar, see Mick Goodrick’s The Advancing Guitarist.

How long will a piano last outside?

We predict an outdoor piano to last from two to five years depending on various factors such as the quality of the donated piano, the quality of the sheltered location, and the weather.

We move the piano into place, have it tuned, hold a ribbon cutting ceremony, and then it's open for the public to play. We'll also tune it periodically throughout the year. Indoor pianos will hold a tune much longer than outdoor pianos - which are more finicky. It varies with the humidity but outdoor pianos will have more instances of sticky keys. A key may get stuck on a very humid day but play just fine on a dry day. We can't control that, but we'll repair the piano as keys become stuck for other reasons. You can expect an outdoor piano will sound like a 'honky tonk' piano when the weather is changing frequently, but the more the piano is played, the more playable it will be. Piano Stewards can help with this. (You can read more about Piano Stewards on our Volunteer page.)
