How do I recreate the 1968 Yamaha C‑1 concert grand vibe in my apartment to keep my philodendron thriving?

I grew up hearing a 1968 Yamaha C‑1 in my parents' attic. Its Kobelt‑action, the P‑10 register, and the T3 tuning made the space feel like a cathedral. When the sun sets behind my philodendron, I still hear that lush sustain.

Could the specific string tension, 1.5‑inch soundboard, and 3.5‑mm resonant plate of the C‑1 actually influence plant growth? Does a modern digital piano, like a Yamaha CL‑100 or a 2020 Roland Fantom X7 on the P‑10 preset, replicate the necessary frequency spectrum (200–400 Hz) that might affect stomatal opening?

  • Original details: Kobelt action, P‑10 register, T3 tuning, 1.5‑inch soundboard, 3.5‑mm resonant plate.
  • Modern analogs: Yamaha CL‑100, Roland Fantom X7, P‑10 preset.
  • Key question: effect on plant growth?

Any anecdotal evidence or scientific references would be appreciated. I plan an acoustic experiment next week—hope the community has insights!

Why does that old piano feel so alive next to a plant??
