Re: Fred the Head?

I wouldn't want to meet Fred the head in a dark alley ;-)

What material is Fred?  I use a Sennheiser head, but continue to think
I could make one that modeled the human head better in terms of the
acoustic transfer function.  I have thought of some materials that I
think would better model the head mass and human skin quality, but many
of those, like ballistic gelatin or viscoelastic foam, would not be
very robust.  Sorbothane looks promising, but I don't know how I could
mold that, or how costly it would be.
