That's cool. I'm moving to Vaud end of june. Not too far away! It'll be a really great show! What venue do you have in mind, got any other artists in mind yet?
hello Alfie, i think maybe a link bridge that would rest on both cans at the same time would allow equal vibration from both cans.for instance make a hole in the top of the box dead center of where your cans will be and get a bolt long enough to reach each hole then put a nut on each side of the bolt and the nut will fit in the hole and touch the can only and not the lid of the box. hope this helps,let me know how things work out fer ya. if you need a photo illustration of this method let me know and i,ll build a quick one to show ya what i,m trying to describe to ya. take care,talk with ya more later.
