Hi Marc
I would suggest to take a look at the yoga block boundary array (see John
Hartog's page http://www.rockscallop.org/how/yba/yoga-block-arrays.html),
especially regarding its lightweight.
I made several recordings based on that solution, sometimes placing the yoga
block on top of a boompole, and imho it's interesting.
If you like a couple of samples, you can listen to the recordings A little
sardinian lullaby, This morning it is raining again, Fruehlingssturm on my
soundcloug page (http://soundcloud.com/moooose).
