When I lived in my house in Maryland I had my piano in what used to be the dining room area of a combined living room/dining room (small house built in the late 50s). I had installed a combination light/ceiling fan and had the same problem with warble whenever the fan was on and I was playing. It was most annoying. I never tried acoustic tiles on the fan blades. I'm not sure if it would work, but it's an interesting thought. Regards, Craig
