That looks great Tom!Ā

I had the same idea although without the tambourineĀ

Thank you Peggy. I cut the bottom out of the tin so the tambourine would be a tight fit and then secured it with a couple of screws. I was lucky to have a tin that was pretty close to the 10' diameter of the tambourine.

Thanks Paul.

Thanks Rough Cut. I think the type of wood in the neck does affect the tone. Walnut would most likely had a similar sound and maple a bit more trebley. The tambourine I used was a good quality one and I think that helped with the over all sound too. Sure, message me with any questions.
