Now I am wondering if the direct mechanical coupling between the wood 
and mics might not be a really positive factor. Is it possible that the 
wood is actually picking up some of the incoming waves and adding them 
to the overall effect. Yes, there is an increased risk of extraneous 
sounds from accidental impact with the rig.  But there may be a 
beneficial "other side of the coin." When I tap on my own head very 
gently, I am amazed at how little force is required to make an audible 
sound through bone conduction. And that is dampened by skin and hair. I 
would be interested to know if shock mounted or damped mic mounts on 
this rig would yield the same airiness and spatial definition.  .. . 
just wondering.
