dear fred, find a room in your house that is not being used much, such as
your den, a child's former room or even a huge walk in closet. be sure to
take down all the fixtures on thr wall but a few, and make it into a studio.
i have a friend that bought a wooden shed and developed that into a music
studio. the basement is the worst place even for the horn.
