Cornell's Center for  Historical Keyboards will be getting a new neighbor; a new building is going up starting in a couple of weeks, and I'm being asked for data on how they may fare due to vibration caused by the construction.  I'm not very concerned about it, personally, but I thought I'd ask the group if anyone has experience with a similar situation.  Anecdotal information seems more likely to be found than any real empirical data.

The new construction will not involve pile driving, they will use an augur instead.  There will be a seismograph in our space to monitor vibration, and the group that's doing the job cites other construction they've done in our area in similar close quarters.  The new building will have a wall only 12 feet from our exterior wall, and of course these are not modern pianos.  Right now there are about a dozen instruments in the space, some of which are replicas but most would be irreplaceable if any serious damage were to happen.  Does anyone care to comment?
