  • Makes sense on the strength.   Interesting on more sound with more hammering.   Now I am thinking about adding a spun cone....   I kind of need a loud big box 4 string for  tuning GDGB. 

     

  • Thanks John- I think it can take the pressure-look at how paper thin those aluminum cones are! I'm hoping it moves a bit up and down as I play to give more volume. The more I tooled the metal the more stable and better sounding it seems to become. Keeping my fingers crossed!
  • Wow, that is looking good.  Inspirational.   How strong is it?   Will the saddle area need to be braced?  I wonder how it would be to place a cat bowl resonator.....    You may be starting a new thing. 

  • Thanks guys- I thought about just sticking on a bridge, but o think stretching the metal has made a big difference ! If I tap the top now instead of "ting", I get a "gong!"sound.
  • "Good Concept", might have to "nick" that idea, keep us posted on when it's finished, and how it sounds?

  • the cone area came out really nice. Keep us posted!!
