Thanks Jeff. Screen doors, toy mics, rubber bands stretched taut - These are things that make this so much fun!

I hear you Unc. I like stuff to sound just like it sounds with very little enhancement. It's fun to experiment sometimes though!

Hi Jim,

I had some success with the spring from an old screen door. I cut it to length and attached it inside a CBG, underneath my neck through design. If the box is deep enough it works pretty well. I may throw a piezo in there to see how my "reverb" sounds amped up as well. Accousticly it gives a jangly reverb sound. I suppose it could be adjusted by using a tighter or looser spring. I used what I had in my basement at the time. Love the fiddle by the way.

It looked to technical for me, Jim.   I am not much into effects.   Well I like some delay on the amp.  And someday I would like to try a Wah pedal.

Thanks Unc. You didn't say nuttin' about my hi tech plastic mic!

That sure is a nice box fiddle, Jim.

Thanks AGP. Sometimes I'd like to turn down the "think" and crank up the "do"

Ya always thinkin' Jim !!!

Thanks Wes. That groundhog up in PA predicted an early spring but I don't think this is what he meant. I need to make me a resonator and give that a try!
