The best grill is no grill, because all fabrics muffle the highest frequencies. The thinner the cloth, the more open the knit, the higher in frequency it starts to muffle, but it still does.

I've found the thin open-knit polyester from the local fabric store to be indistinguishable, sonically and physically (under a microscope), from the stuff typically used for commercial grill cloth. I would venture to say it's exactly the same stuff.

And taking a frequency analyzer to a fabric store? As if women don't regard us as weird enough, already? I bet that gave those gals some stories to tell their friends!
