This sounds good to me. As far as soundproofing, I meant...do you have noisy
neighbors, do you have neighbors that will complain about noise...etc. Seems
like I read somewhere, that some of those type instruments don't put out a
lot of volume (indian instruments,I mean). If this is true, you need a very
quiet room in which to record them. HTH Danny
