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)
