Subj: [kl] Neighbor Problems, Was: Travelling and Playing

I live in a condo that is a fourplex. Even with double walls between the
units, sound still carries. I no longer can practice at any given hour, day
or night. But I have a neighbor who is extremely ignorant of the fact that
when he blares his stereo he bothers everyone in the condos. Yesterday, for
example, it blared from noon to midnight. I have no idea how to handle him.
I thought he was retalliating against my practicing, but I have reasonable
hours, and do not blast on my piano, clarinet, or trumpet like he does on his
stereo. We've already confronted him once, and he said he would alter his
music, but nothing has happened. What should my family do? If we talk to the
landlord, we are afraid the neighbor will cmplain about my music, and I am
hardly distracting. In fact, other neighbors like when we have the windows
open so they can hear my music. Any suggestions on how to handle this
problem? Thanks!
