This is a experimental prototipe made for a friend of mine who wanted an small hindu like sounding instrument, after a research i´ve figured out how to make a jwari bridge, it gives the sitar sound, also i´ve put four harp like strings, for adding more oriental sound. I will post some video or sund sample later.Let me know what you think guys, greatings from argentina!detail of the inside, a piezo and a spring for bring more reverb sound

Jim, in my case i´ve tried with springs in a few instruments, some works, others didn´t, i think its a kind of lucky thing, i can´t tell you where and when works, and when not.
Well, just for the first hand experience, I installed a “spring reverb” in a couple of different places in what I think is a pretty good-sounding acoustic/electric cbg tonight. Let's see... how can I describe the effect?
Ah, I know...
What a waste of time and space. lol (As always, YMMV)
LG > I found the picture of the “springfull thing” (good name) on the 'net. I forgot what it's called... but maybe it'll give you some ideas for your next guitar! ^^
Jim, in my design it doesn´t add much of the sitar sound, i made a few cbg with springs, in tiny boxes the springs improve the acoustics adding the chamber sound that small boxes doesn´t have. I hope you understand, my english is not the best ;)

Hi guys, i share here a detail photo of the bridge, the inclination and the lenght of the bridge cause the "sitar" sound

I see a few homemade “spring reverbs” out there. I'm guessing it adds to the sitar-like sound effect?
Totally digging this! Looking forward to hearing it! Awesome job Linyera.
