playing in a stairwell
hey folks: i've heard a few of you mention this and how it sounds great. i paid you no mind. yesterday, i finally got the joy of hearing this. wow! before Mass yesterday, i was tuning up my guitar and whistles and i usually do this in the hallway because there is a bench there. but there is remodeling going on so the only place that i could sit was on the steps. wow again. if you haven't played in a stairwell yet, get you butt to one right now.
Rose tint my world. Keep me safe from my trouble and pain.

I've been playing in various stairwells at work for 14 years, mostly because there's nowhere else I can go that won't disturb somebody. All the stairwells are accessed by double fire doors, so I'm sure my noises don't travel into the office areas of the building.
The added bonus is that I get added reverb.

It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that schwing
Kitchens are almost as good, especially if you have tile floors. Plus, you get to annoy the cats in the kitchen. Cats are good at payback, however.

What would a wild walrus whistle if a walrus could whistle wild?
The second mouse may get the cheese but the presentation leaves a lot to be desired.

Too much methane - it changes the quality of the soundtalasiga wrote:those of you who like to play in stairwells
may just as well try a sewerage tunnel
for a real lift .......
- like helium but not as dramatic!!!
Seriously - one of the best places I have played is in
"Reginald's Tower" in Waterford City. On the first floor -
the round room has a really beautiful acoustic.
It all has to do simply with reberb. You can get reverb
by close miking your instrument and using a mixer with
an effects processor - you can get all the wow sound you
want!! Anything from a "sewage tunnel" to a cathedral and
more.

There's a multi storey car park near to us, and the acoustics in the stairwell are amazing...it's all glass and tiles. Every time I'm there, I say "Oh, I'd love to bring my guitar here and do a few songs". One day, I'll be organised, and have my guitar with me the same time I'm there. (Although, I'd be scared of someone trying to mug me for it! ..I might have to take my cheap one instead!)
I like singing, whistling and playing flute in the bathroom too!
