New music space - or 'A long list of compromises'

Yep, I just stuck it up to get a sound really, and the excess sides does exaggerate the room effect. I might give it another run and just drop the sides by a few db and see what that does. I've not actually tried recording the guitar like that before so it's another lesson learned.

It will need a few more coats to be waterproof but I'm happy with how it's turned out.

Nice, but it needs more umlauts!

That would require more carving and my Stanley knife is getting blunt.

You wouldn't think we live near a busy road and between two train lines...

I feel ripped off

The train noise was too loud to post!
