Yeah, I was thinking of having all the sound bounce off the half-dome structure
making for a pretty bad echo probably.  I was going more for symmetry of looks
not sound.  Maybe I could move it into the back of the stage?  Well I think I
need to find a great photo of something similar at least too, then I'd have
something to go by.  I searched and searched and came up with either partially
constructed ones or pictures facing the wrong direction, none of which were of
this type I tried to make.
