It does! Love it. Anyone who grew up in UK schools will know a prefab classroom hut. So from that description I immediately know what type of reverb the sound will have.

Crucially, how different it will be from eg. a high ceiling room in a brick building.

I'd say that's a great description.




We had just one of the huts left in my UK school - until IIRC the roof blew away?!

I don't remember the distinct reverb, my overriding memory is of being far too hot in summer and far too cold in winter.


Yeah we have something similar in Australia. Pretty much every school when I was growing up had these exact same portable classrooms with the distinctive shitty-looking rectangular roof. Every single school I walked past or played sports against had them too.

I would have thought they'd have something more modern looking these days. But when I Googled around this article from 3 years ago came up with some newish looking ones in the exact same style.

So I guess some things never change. At least they come in that nice blue now instead of the awful brown and green they used to use.
