[Harp-L] a place to practice - the modern day Woodshed

["Peter Wright" <peterw@xxxxxxxxxx>]

> Does your practice time get scheduled around your kids bedtimes?  Are you
> an early riser on the weekend, but the rest of the family isn't.  Is your
> spouse tired of hearing you perfect the lick you've been practicing a
> hundred times in a row.  No garage or practice area you can go to?  What
> to do?  How about a portable, "sound proof" booth?
> 
> I got some plans from DAWBOX.COM and built one.  Now I can practice
> whenever I want.  You can checkout my result at

> 
> I built it for under $500, which is about $2,000 less than what it will
> cost you to buy one.  I tested it with a noise meter and found I get a
> 20db noise reduction.  When I play acoustic in it, my family doesn't even
> know I'm practicing.  
> 
> Now I have no excuses for not practicing enough!
