Thanks folks! The sound is cool and ringing, rich in overtones. I'm too bad playing, let's hope someones would like to play it ;-)
Koloman Moser was a designer in Vienna, around 1900 (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koloman_Moser). As I like my instruments to have Spanish sounding names I called it "La Kolomosa". As to the resonators, I built a negative wooden form on the lathe. Onto that I put round brass sheets and fix them around with 12 screws. Then I put it in the lathe; while turning I press a wooden stick against the tin until it adapts to the form. The result is here:
Wow! How does it sound? It is beautiful. Can you point me in the direction of how you spin a resonator and make a brass bridge? I love the idea of curing with coffee and curry. What does La Kolomosa mean?
