lo-o-o-ong sustain

[Paul T Williams]

It reminds me of Union Station in KC.  Anyone ever check that place out 
when attending National Seminars at Crown Plaza? I would hate to have to 
tune in there!

I have to say: I've tuned in some rooms with a lot of reverb before, but 
this one takes the cake (see below); the reverb time must have been 5 
seconds (probably more - I only had 30 minutes to tune, so not a lot of 
time to get out the stopwatch : )    No doubt many of you have tuned in 
museums before, and know what the experience is like. This room sounds 
like a small cathedral - note the size of the guy down at the end of the 
room. That gives an idea of scale, and is where the stage was - under the 
dome! (Igor Levitt with the English Chamber Orchestra).

What with the chaos of chairs being setup (locked together in some noisy 
fashion) and a guy going around with some kind of compression gun, 
stapling the the stage floor together, I was really glad to have my ETD to 
help clean up unisons (especially in the treble). With that kind of 
reverb, bad unisons can get smoothed over and hard to hear.
