35mm metal slide storage box
Hi guys.
I have just found a metal 35mm slide storage box(it was in a skip) so i am now wondering if its possible to turn it into a three string?
If so , what would you all recomend pick up(piezo) or no pick up.
Would also be greatful for any other advice for this build as it will only be my second build
Thanks foor any help you can give me with this.

Well most anything can and most likely has already been used as a resonator. Have a picture of it?

Athough ive seen some on ebay from time to time so you might see one quicker by looking on there.
