This model was built to study the acoustics of the newly designed concert hall. As is evident in the dimensions listed above, it was quite large—large enough to illicit impromptu ‘acoustic experiments’ from more adventurous bystanders! The acoustical engineers used a more sophisticated method, of course. Their tests were so successful that some parts were redesigned, giving way to a rebuilt model which allowed further testing.
