This is the 5th "Resofiddle" of this design. The resonator is made of a paint can lid and leftover truss rod material (steel) is brazed. The tin can be tuned to it's sweet spot using the screw on the biscuit

Thank You!  I've made a dozen or so of these with this design.

I've since improved them by having them cut out with a water jet and nickel plated.

 They are expensive, but well worth it.

 Best, Matty B
