Update on bar suspension

Just a small note: The method of fixing the bars with a velcro strap was not very successful. The small play the velcro connection has made an very audible, high-pitched buzz.

So off came the velcro, and the foam pads are now fixed with double-sided adhesive tape. Also, most of the pads are now fixed with that tape on the wood's side.

Result: Much less buzz, though not completely gone; the bars seem to be vibrating better now, producing a mellow, warm sound.

Sound samples still to come, when playing technique is sufficient for a small demo ;).
