I salute you sir, for your dilegence, in this endeavour. I would love to hear how it works out sounding.<br />

<p>I put a snake inside, his eye is looking me :-) I'm on the way making two identical guitars, one with the snake, one without. Be patient, as finished I will record both with a good microphone. The eye is glass, a big "murrina" from Venice. The snake is copper tube hammer flattened.</p>

<p>Today i've studied. I discovered the existence of the "Dulcitone" a kind of piano with no strings, but with tuning forks instead. There is one in a museum in New Zealand. And studied the phisics of tuning fork. Very interesting. Then I try another variation, but it does not work, see the photo. Ihave soldered right down the bridge, but is deaf. I have to try with a real tunig fork, as i find one i will try.</p>

<p>Now I have soldered inside 3 ft and half of bronce. The sound is something never heard, a little bit of Sitar. I make my experiments with one single string, I've noticed that there is more time of vibration. I feel myself like a medieval alchemist, tomorrow I will try with a much more "solid" wire.</p>

<p>I don't know if is necessary a bisquit, I just soldered a brass bridge using the minimum possible tin, and it works. But maybe is better a more large soldering to transmit the string vibration to the body ? Or is better a wood buscuit? The brass is 1 millimeter thin, but is quite rigid. I will solder inside a vibraphone :-) it's no easy, but is a lot of fun.</p>

Yeah, your "little feet" solution looks like it might work! I assume the top side of the resonator (bell) will be held in place by string pressure passing through a biscuit. Or, will there be some wood blocks to hold the resonator (bell) in place? Let us know how the finished instrument looks (and sounds) like.<br />

<p>Neat, looks as if they work like tuning rods resonating sound.</p>
