Gramophone Box Guitar

Found this old Gramophone Box very tatty and the spring had gone and soundbox..But its nice and big to try out the handle approach for a bridge..Maybe the turntable could have a revolving speaker attached and a motor...hmmm now theres a thought.Anyone know of a cheap wireless transmitter that runs on batteries??Or how do you do a revolving contacts for speaker conections??Might try using the side arm to pickup on the strings, similar to my phono guitar...Nice large bodied acoustic sound...

  • What like this!... yes it works but could do with being in a box... and velcro to hold the radio down so it could go faster without falling off !!

  • Maybe a small FM radio on the turntable and an Ipod FM sender with batteries and a overdiven pre-amp??

    hmmmmm....

  • Nice build!

    It's more or less like my design. I'd love to hear the sound!

    As for wireless transmitter -- you may try to use an FM transmitter (used to connect audio devices with your car radio). Like here.
