Personally i like my rehearsal room as flat and as dead as I can make it.
This encourages me to project my sound, and making it fuller. If I had a
concert coming up which required a very soft attack and a lot of quiet
playing, I would work in a bare room with a very vibrant acoustic, for the
opposite reason.

Hi Esther:
Yours is an important query which reminds me of the IDRS conference at
Greensboro,NC where we encountered one fantastic practice room with a
Computerized device which converted it into anything from a small studio to
The equivalent of Carnegie Hall.The prices at that time for this room was
Terribly expensive .Wondering if this magical device has come down in price
Since then?
On a more-economical scale,recall persons experimenting with empy egg
Cartons, curtains,carpets,etc
Best wishes and good luck ,
