It's simply called a screw clamp, it is an old design that still performs in the time of plastic ratchet type clamps. The screws don't have to be tightened evenly, so it will clamp odd shapes and angles. http://www.rockler.com/product.cfm?page=18917

Saitenmegaphon? Super Idee!
Das Ding mit Geweih hat eine "reversed resonator bridge", bei der die Saiten nach oben hin gegen den Bördelrand der 10L-Öldose drücken. Tja, und ein PU sitzt davor.

Ich bin auch Mitglied in Ted Crocker's www.handmademusicclubhouse.com - schau mal dort vorbei ;-) Dieses Monat machen die einen Steam Punk Challange.

cheers, Elmar
