Hi Ethan-

The linear feet of ceiling-wall intersections in the Music Room is not 66'. It is actually 110'. 66' is the linear footage of the side walls alone (33' each.) This makes it even more apparent why we seek the most cost effective way of managing the horn effect thats occur in these long-running 'corners' where the ceiling meets the wall.

Another possible solution I forgot to mention in the original post is a variation on Michael Green's "Room Tune" echo slap idea of a small, flat rectangle of paper/foil-backed insulation wrapped in a relatively sonically transparent fabric (with decent WAF, of course), mounted on the wall where it connects to the ceiling. I could purchase a roll or three of paper/foil-backed polyester batting (that is what is used to insulate hot water pipes here in NZ), cut them to 4' long x 1' wide strips, cover them in a nice brown burlap fabric, and tack up about 25-30 of them to effectively damp the entire circumference of ceiling-wall intersection in the room. This would still leave an enormous amount of space on the side walls and rear walls to be reflective to keep the room from being too deadened. Further, these rolls of paper/foil-backed polyester batting are not too dear.

I'll be very interested to hear what your take is on this, and the other possibilities I offered in the original post, as to the best, most economically feasible way to deal with the reflective energies at the wall-ceiling intersections in my Music Room.

A million thanks for any and all advice offered, Ethan.

Cheers,

WS
