Building an Orchestra Shell

Re: Acoustic Shell Construction?

Why are you trying to reinvent the wheel? By the time you purchase the materials, invest the labor, correct mistakes, your invention will probably not come in any cheaper than off the shelf items. Another consideration is how much space will your creation take up when not being used?

Our design would fit in the same footprint or smaller than an off-the shelf solution when in storage and come in at a RADICALLY lower price point. Current design stows within an 7'6" x 8' storage space. We can better match the look of the installed ceiling shell with our own build as well. With some changes and improvements to the original design, I'm tracking a build cost of less than $2000.

Saying that, this project for me has been an afternoon of drafting and dealing with input from my staff. I don't know if we ever will act on the build due to some other budget issues. As per my reply to Footer, it's basically a concept, thought experiment at this point.
