Works very well and has a good sound. It's suspended from the back of the guitar by the rails you can see in the picture.
Another item I thought would work well is the clamp-on sort of spun aluminum "shop light" reflector you can get from hardware stores for a few bucks. They come in several sizes, and can be easily cut to accomodate any size cigar box.
The store-bought jobs made for resonator mandolins and ukes look great....But I wanted a more "homespun" approach.

Any recommendations on mounting it in order to give it the best ability to react to the strings?
Also, any reason not to try a larger can? I'd guess a large tuna can would have the same materials but push more air...
