solution.....another cool tip from eddie (can't ever

Eddy/John,
It's not a matter of mass directly, it's a matter of
the resonance of a given mass. While the removal of
some material may indeed move the point of resonance
in the frequency spectrum, it doesn't change the
overall spectral distribution pattern. Only a
different material will exhibit such a change.
