Thanks John. Your answer and recommendations are fascinating. > I suggest redesigning your practice room so no two walls are parallel to each > other.<
I'm right on it. The contractors are coming first thing in the morning. ;o) But seriously, this explains why the recording studio I've have opportunity to play in has cantilevered panels on the walls & ceiling. I guess a more ideal acoustic set up is to have the sound waves stirred around like soup in a bowl than bounced off parallel walls?? -- Valerie Wells The Balanced Embouchure Method http://bebabe.wordpress.com/ http://www.beforhorn.blogspot.com/ Date: Tue, 15 Feb 2011 19:54:21 +0000 (UTC) From: John Baumgart <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Hornlist] Acoustics & E To: The Horn List <[email protected]> Message-ID: <1383592436.896102.1297799661389.javamail.r...@sz0128a.emeryville.ca.mail.comcast.net> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 Assuming your room is 20?C and at sea level, the wavelength of E (first line of staff) on your horn (= concert A), is about 5 feet, so it resonates nicely in your 10 foot room. G# (more or less) should work well with the 8 foot dimension. I suggest redesigning your practice room so no two walls are parallel to each other.
