Dog bowl resonator

Posted by Rubén on January 26, 2017 at 12:35pm
Hi everybody: I'm building my first dog bowl resonator and I have made the hole to the dog bowl, it fits ok but my question is: Do I have to secure it with screws or glued to the top of the box or will the string tension keep everything in place?

    ive made a couple with both screws and glue. both sound good, no buzzing.

    i preferred the look of glue (or rather the lack of screws)

      I've finally glued the bowl, I like it more than the screws and I have to admit that screws seemmed too difficult. Thank you all.

      Since the bridge will be pushing down on the bowl, it won't shift anyway... glad you are making progress... pics?

      I'm pretty happy with the result I've enjoyed the process.

    You could always just try it with string tension alone, then tweak as needed if you don't like the sound.

      Thank You all for the information :-)

    Screws would make it easier to adjust or repair later (vs glue), that was my logic at least.

    When I made mine I let the string tension hold to bowl in but was getting to much buzz out of it. I'm in the process of making anchors to screw thru.

    It is all about the buzz. My last one I used tacky glue around the edge... since it really won't move out of position, I think you can just do what you want...

      Thank you John, so now I have to decide if I use glue or screws. Maybe glue would be easier...
