I have 4 acoustic and 5 electric guitars in my listening space and I don't believe they interfere with the sound at all.
Acoustical Instruments - a Bad Idea??
When playing music on one’s audio system, is it a bad idea to have certain acoustical instruments in the room?
I just moved, and was thinking of purchasing an upright or maybe a small grand piano placed in the same room as my speakers. Then I realized that the piano strings may start sympathetic vibration to the audio music adding room distortion. Maybe any stringed instrument in the room is a bad idea. Drum cymbals, or anything bell like a glockenspiel..
What do you think?

@jeffbij what Jeff said. |
I have a piano in one music room and a couple of violins, guitars, etc in another room usually. Area of impingement is too small, to begin with, for any significant energy transfer. You are also not playing sine sweeps through the frequency band and letting it dwell on some resonant frequency associated with some instrument. One would have a lot more to worry about with the room walls themselves, including ceiling and floor. All rooms fabricated with conventional construction produce significant noise commensurate with overall spl level, lower octave energy, room modes & other. Special construction can mitigate that, not expensive to do and makes a big difference to attainable resolution. |
