In the Thread: Do curved corners help???

Hi guys, no harm – no foul.
However incapable I am of
appreciating music and however ineptly or provocatively I asked the question, truly
my only aim is to understand if the curved corners make sense. As I said, we are starting to sell the
drywall corners (and literally can’t make them fast enough). The thing that bugs me is that probably 1 in
3 of the folks who want them have already decided that they are going to
improve acoustics. It would be the
easiest thing in the world to nod & take their money but that isn’t what we
are about. So at the risk of revealing
more ignorance: The top to bottom frequencies of a piano are something like
4200Hz to 32Hz. Likely there are both
higher and lower frequencies of interest so for the sake of argument call it
20Hz to 10,000Hz. That means the
wavelengths of interest range from 56 feet down to barely an inch. Presuming the reason rounded corners help is
that they reduce the instances of ‘rogue waves’ heading in different directions
as the sound bounces off corners then it seems like pretty much any radius above
an inch helps some portion of the sound.
Everyone in the know seems to want bigger radii than the 4” picture I
showed so I presume that means low frequencies are most troublesome or most
noticeable when distorted?
(BTW - the Isorast system looks pretty neat)
