When trying for a type of sound and volume on a cheap plywood and oddly braced body, diameter and thickness play a big factor in acoustics, volume sustain etc. I've only once got good tone volume with tinny metal likely cause box was heavy and had heavy strings but a cookie tin lid.
Cool, Brian. I am thinking about doing a cat or dog bowl reso on an old Harmony guitar I have.
I have one with a Lowe cone - kind of small for the git - an old Silvertone - and it never has sounded as good as I wished. That is likely due to me doing some re-inforcing under the cone area - and not the cone. It looks cool, but just lacks volume.

Hope it's good. What are you using for a cone?
