How about a small speaker fed a series of test tones at various volumes. You could develop a designed experiment... the right shaped speaker would allow you to test lots of materials. Very curious to see how you could test Stillpoints that way.
Thanks, Craig.

I think the compelling thing about using the music box mechanism is that it won't make much if any noise if the material underneath effectively damps resonances.

I know, for a example, that a cone would make a lot of "music".
