Hey there Wayne!
Yeah. I used a nice bit of sheet metal to get that "thunder/wobbly" sound currently, but it is too thick to work well as a resonator. I guess I need to get out there and track down a thinner piece and try that. My concern is it may be two flimsy. I did track down a "plan" for building a metal cello designed by Bart Hopkin (Experimental Music Instrument Quarterly editor), but it is not very precise and does not give much information on the thickness or bending of the resonator sheet.
Anyway, excellent thoughts Wayne! Cheers! I'll do more research and post when I have a nice new crazy instrument thingy to use for the upcoming gigs! Thank you!
