Sorry, only two vids ever made with this one were lost when I quit Facebook last year...and the reso sold. As for similar builds, I have a newer build, four string with brass Lowe cone, hand made bolt on neck, without any "tone bones". Have not made vid of this one because I need to finish setting it up (intonation, action, etc)...here's a picture of it
Correct about tone bar in violin, etc being vertical. These were more for box support than for changing resonance. Not removable unless cut out and abandoned as box support. Neck is bolt on, since I chose not to do a neck-thru due to the reso cone blocking most of the way towards tail end of box.
Tone bones! BTW, tone bars in violins run vertically, to increase the bass resonance of the top. How are you gonna determine change in resonance? Are these removable? You'd have to look at sound quality before and after installation...but they do look interesting. Izzat a screw on, or dovetail set neck block?

This is what it looked like finished...
I thought of calling them "dual balanced carbon fibre resonance system", but that sounded to technical, haha
