How can I simply make it sound softer?

Have you noticed that it is hard to have a conversation near a piano that is being played? If so, it is a good sign that you have a healthy piano! Pianos are intentionally designed to amplify the sound they produce. Saying that, there are a few things you can do to lessen the amount of volume the piano produces.

3 ways to soften a piano

Voicing. This term can also be defined as tone regulation. Piano technicians have the skill-set modify your pianos tone or voice by manipulating the felt in the hammer that strikes the string. Methods can be by needling, sanding, chemical application or a combination of these procedures. This method is the most expensive and permanent of these choices. Environmental. Choosing to place rugs, plants, fabric furniture and fabric window treatments can go along way to absorb a significant amount of a piano’s volume output. The more flat surfaces the are in the room, such as walls, hardwood floors and window exist near the piano, the more the sound will bounce off of these surfaces, causing your piano to seem louder. Depending what items and how many are chosen in your room will translate to the cost of this method. Adding Absorption. Consider lessening your piano’s volume before it leaves the piano by absorbing its sound. Back in the 1990’s, there was a surge in player pianos. I remember piano dealers at the time displayed them in various retail locations to show them off. One common place was in car showrooms. As you may imagine, there is usually a tile or cement floor w/ glass all around. How do you think those player grand pianos sounded in that environment? Similar to a packed school gymnasium! Very, very loud. To make the car salespersons and customers happier, foam was tightly stuffed underneath the piano.

Is C higher than E?

On a C scale, the notes from low to high would be C, D, E, F, G, A, B, C. But in a scale, some steps are larger than others. In a major scale, there are five whole steps and two half steps.

edu.xunta.gal - THE SCALE

THE SCALE

A scale is like a staircase. In the major scale, there are eight notes going up the steps from bottom to top. These are the eight notes of the octave. On a C scale, the notes from low to high would be C, D, E, F, G, A, B, C. But in a scale, some steps are larger than others. In a major scale, there are five whole steps and two half steps. These steps are shown more easily on a piano keyboard: a whole step is the distance between a white key and the next white key, providing there is a black key in between; and a half step is the distance between a white key and the nearest black key. Also, the distance between two white notes that have no black key between them. It is possible to raise or lower the pitch or highness of a note by a half tone. The “sharp” (#) raises the pitch by a half tone. C-sharp, for example, is a half tone higher than C. A flat (b) lowers the pitch by a half tone. D-flat would be a half tone lower than D, and would be the same sound as C-sharp.
