What did Ludwig van Beethoven do to his piano so that he could hear it better?
Rumour has it that Beethoevn sawed the legs off his piano and laid it flat on the floor so he could hear the music he created through the vibrations on the floor. However, it was actually quite common for pianos of Beethoven's time to be made with removable legs so the instruments could be carried from court to court for performances. It is doubtful whether he actually sawed the legs off.
