Sound Control for Uprights  Made Simple

After testing the best methods with a friend of mine (before I buy my piano, being a Condo Tenant), this is our results for what worked best. 
Things you will need:
1-   48x48 Flexible Vinyl-Coated Fiberglass Sound Control Blanket – (9781T35)***
2-   4x6 Rug
3-   54x54 Flexible Egg-Carton Polyurethane Sound Absorbing Foam – (9710T46)***
4-   Wool Disc – 6 inches diameter, ¼ inch thick, (4 total) – (8307K42)***
5-   Piano Caster Cups – 5 ½ diameter (4 total)
Put the 48x48 Sound Control Blanket under the 4x6 Carpet, you should leave 6 inches on each side of the carpet, basically the sound control blanket is in the middle. (This will control the Bass notes mainly)   The wool disk goes underneath the Piano Caster Cups.   (This will control the vibrations throughout the legs of the piano).  Put the 54x54 Sound Absorbing Foam behind the upright with the Egg side facing and barely touching the back of the piano, the flat side should be touching the wall. (This will control the mids and especially the highs, i.e., Yamaha highs exclusively) you can cut the top to your size upright.
You can buy this stuff at a reasonable price at www.mcmaster.com
The product numbers are at the top in ( ***  )

(Total Cost $ 177.00)not including the Rug/ Piano Caster Cups which will be up to you, make sure they are 5 ½ inches in diameter because the wool disk are 6 inches. 
It really works great!!
