Antonia: false panel

Hello,

I have two questions:

1) What is false panel on the door?

2) What kind of tapping (of shoes) is hollow tapping? The one that produces echo?

Thank you

1) A panel that looks like a permanent real panel but is actually a fake one concealing a door/compartment/safe/something secret. 2) When you tap something that is hollow it sounds different to something that is solid. Not quite an echo, just different.

  • Not quite an echo, just different.
  • Try tapping round your walls - the solid exterior wall will sound different to a non-loadbearing interior wall.
  • I guess a loud echoing sort of tapping, yes.
