Hello,

I have been thinking about some acoustic improvements on the bonnet of my 4/4 and did so with an astonishing result. The new anti-drumming mats (sort of Alubutyl by Surga ) take up most of the vibrations of that huge metal surface. I also added 2 heat-resistant foam strips at the hinge between the panels. Works terrific! No more drone: just solid, dry bass! cheers!

Hi,


The heavier Alubutyl alternative can be found on the internet

https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B06XTDC243/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It should (so they say) resist to temperatures up to 160 degrees Celsius. I haven't been stuck in holiday traffic yet but it seems to do just fine.

In the meantime I am working on a self-made Bimini top. I will keep the honourable community updated...

Greetings

Mich
