RE: Yet another problem room..

I wonder which ones you saw at Home Depot. The ones I looked into at both HD and Lowe's seemed too flexible. This turned me off at the time I was choosing something for the experimental P-Frames. When I compared them -- by not quite scientific means --, 4' of 2x2 Douglas Fir "rang" and vibrated less than the same lengths of aluminum tubing that they had at the time, years ago.

Except that I did not know it was Douglas Fir then. It was just a cheap wood that they had on the shelves, with no identity. I bought it on impulse. After they cut it for me, I walked to the hardware section and compared to the 4' aluminum tubes.

There's a story behind me not knowing that it was Douglas Fir for a long time. It turned into one hell of a blind test down the road and led me to the conviction the stiffness has more influence than mass, even as both help.
