    I don't imagine it is any more rigid than a dog dish, saw blade, bed pan, and other interesting materials people have tried.  Whadayagot to lose?  A couple hours of time?

    I kind of like the idea of floating in the box and maybe with a pickup on it.  I'm working on a spring plate reverb inside a box as an experiment.

    OK.. I kinda thought it might be thick.. and did think about a floating reso thing... anyway thanks for the help...

    I don't want to discourage you to experiment, but like Steve mentioned, it may too rigid. A resonator cone functions just like a banjo skin. Bassically we are talking about a vibrating sound board. Commercial cones are quite delicate. It all comes down to the downward pressure created by the strings that actually moves the cone. If the pressure is too weak, the cone will not move. They are prone to rattle and make noise. If there is too much pressure, the cone gets locked up and does not vibrate at all. Enjoy your build, Keni Lee

      I think it was Shane saying he had some used cymbals at the store, and I asked if he couldn't use some of them as resos.

    You must have seen my FB post.

    I would have thought a cymbal would be too rigid for a reso cone - but try it and see what happens....! (-:
