Musicians and Yurts

[Jafo]

One thing I like about my yurt is playing music in it. I play guitar myself and my sons and I will occasionally have a session when at camp. The yurt seems to really distribute the sound well. I think part of it is that the walls are fabric and there is very little to no echo inside.

Anyone else play live music in your yurt? Have you had the same experience as me?

Funny you brought this topic up. I play electric bass, so that's gonna stay in the house. But I'm also an acoustic guitar newb. I was in the yurt last Fri. with my wife and grandkids and was thinking I should bring my git to the yurt and try it out. Maybe tonight after work.

You will be happy with it. Of course, I am thinking the sound quality might change if there are any framed walls, etc, that perturb the sound waves. Let me know how it turns out!

I don't know about making music but I know the stereo sounds incredible in my 30', it seems to act like a giant inverted speaker,bouncing the sound down, no distortion or echo. But the fabric walls do nothing to keep the music inside. If you have neighbors you may want to bear them in mind when you crank it up,but its nice to be able listen to tunes when working in the field.
