ready?....
there's a "really good idea" coming up...
what would you say to the idea of "resonating" a round, sound hole mandolin (or my charango) with a pop-in resonator cone? the sound hole on my charango has a 5cm radius and could probably enter that far into the body of the instrument before hitting wood.
- i know it's daft but is it feasable?
- if so, what could i use as a resonator cone? i know a jewler who could probably construct a "bisquit" for me but there may be something like an aluminium tea caddy or a perforated concentrated orange juice can or ...something... that would do just as well.
- do you think it would make any difference in the sound?
level headed - bill
