Hi Rob,
>When I tap on a 2"X6" block of wood it does sound quite similar.
You have answered a question I have had from childhood here. Always wondered
why Dad called me a knot-head ;^)
Here in Korea someone considered dense is called a "stone-head",
although not sure we can get an accurate scientific inquiry from such.
Best,
Mark

That's a fun analogy. When I tap on the bones in my skull, the note
produced is fairly consistent in different places and with a
fundamental frequency somewhere in the neighborhood of ~180Hz. When I
tap on a 2"X6" block of wood it does sound quite similar. I agree,
if there's enough energy (which might be rare in Curt's
applications), the resonance added by the block could sound
"favorable" or not. I'm surprised at how often direct energies do
reach the mics, especially from wind moving/vibrating the entire
suspension system. When I double-suspend my mics in a smaller tree,
close deer tromps can still travel up the trunk and deform the
diaphragm response momentarily. I was surprised to see the nylon
straps in Curt's rig. I assumed he used a layer of padding. Likely
he's experimented and found a combination of materials that dampen
the energies and are pretty immune to resonance. Rob D.
