Seismic Isolation for Piano Forte
A major advance in piano technology
A surprisingly high percentage of the sound that comes out of a piano travels through the legs and into the floor. This can both ‘muddy’ the sound and become an annoyance to neighbours.
Break this link with the seismic piano isolators and the result is simply magical!
The piano is now more responsive to the pianist’s touch and the sound is remarkably more lively, pleasant and tuneful. The improvement in sound is very noticeable and immediately appreciated by all who experience it.
Using the isolators, the piano is now decoupled from the floor, virtually eliminating the vibrations generated by playing the piano from entering the building. This makes it very neighbour friendly.
Townshend Audio, who are specialists in acoustic vibration control in the audio industry, introduces the Piano Isolators. The devices are placed under the piano legs to break the acoustic connection to the floor.

Description
Design
A Piano Isolator comprises a suspended triangular platform supported by three adjustable vibration isolation Loadcells™, which are placed, one under each of the three legs of a grand piano. A central recess will accommodate and centre all sizes of castor. The isolators will accommodate pianos weighing up to 500kg and will raise it by about 25mm (1”), which is virtually unnoticeable when played. To install the isolators a purpose built hydraulic jack is available to lift the piano.

Stephan Hough's Experience
“These piano isolators are wonderful. Perhaps their original purpose was to prevent neighbours from being disturbed by the thunder of mighty chords through floorboards. But there’s a counter-melody here. Somehow these isolators sweeten and clarify the sound of the instrument itself. Instead of a muddy confusion of carpet, wood and plaster I hear pure notes singing freely in the air. It’s a joy to have them under the castors of my pianos.”
