Interesting sound. I can only make guesses as to why the funnel deepens the tone - I figure the funnel adds to the effective volume of the instrument, which would tend to lower the resonant frequencies of the internal space. I'm curios to hear what it sounds like without the funnel.

Vintage sound, avant garde build! SWEEEEEEEEEEET, mate!

That thing is sounding pretty good.  Good playing on that short scale, Bug.   Good slide.  I like that old song.

Many Thanks for the comments, that Meica stuffs works as a great Banjo head... I have just had a fab idea of how to build a cigar box tricone resonator!...

When Armageddon finally comes...rest ashore...when we rise from the ashes...you will be hailed as a great inventor...and made the official musical instrument maker of the realm. Now if you could just work a little quantum physics into this thing too...it would be perfect. LOL Sounds cool. Enjoy.

Sounds really good, rough or not. Maybe it's a baritone funnel.

Man sounds great...bet would sound cool with a mic element in the horn
