I agree that it sounds very good to work up.
You should measure and pay attention to resonant peaks that may not
be expected from working with nylon. It may relect a bit to much.
Hard to tell until one is built.
I am thinking of this US gov project that looks great but the
material could be improved upon to reduce the bounce within the open
space. I am still looking for an easier way to build this one.
