Never seen the like, what the kinell is it?



Some answers already. My school had what was grandly called "The Music
School" - built in the first half of the sixties. All the practise rooms
had ceilings made of this - open and visible. I think it was also used
in some of the walls.

I always assumed a) it was a compressed straw product b) it had sound
absorption properties.

Was that the Swedish or the Norwegian Kinells you mentioned?

Hypothyroidism is a seriously debilitating condition with an insidious
onset.
Although common it frequently goes undiagnosed.
