Re: Putty Pads - Theoretical Acoustic Isolation Effectiveness

Your thoroughness is appreciated, Jennifer, as this is something I will need to deal with in a few months. You have made it easier to know what to look out for.

Deaf Architects & Blind Acousticians

This book was mentioned in the topic Architects and churches... Does anyone have a copy of this book? I ask because my copy is missing pages 21-36, a printing error as the book is otherwise neatly bound.

Re: Architects and churches...

My wife has been the leader and conductor of a small choir for many years. Those curved areas are great acoustic amplifiers and could amplify a small choir such that a PA was not needed. The churches I have seen with them in are all over 100 years old, predating electric instruments, amplifiers and ...
