"Piano Insulators - The Emerging Collectible"
This beautiful and informative display shows the variety and colors that can be found in "Piano Insulators" which are not an electrical insulator but are intended to improve the sound of the piano by "insulating" it from resonant affects of the floor. Included with the display was an excellent write-up describing these items and their history. This won the NIA award for the best exhibit using go-withs.
