How much more difficult is a dog bowl resonator to build compared to a regular cbg? Thanks, Bill

You could name it Samantha. LOL I found a cast aluminum top for a pot that has a good ring to it, so what ever works.

I chose this hub cap as it has minimal folds to restrict any vibrations and the fact that it is suspended around its edge by all those spokes, may make it work even better. Plus the fact there will be twelve strings driving it. Its in a solid body so will need to have pickups. Cheers Taff

Awesome Taffy.

The best sounding resonators I've built have used a uke cone and cover assembly.

With the dog and cat bowls I think you need a roomy box made from thin material 1/8" ply has worked well, the best one in the group here is the simplest,no pup's knobs or switches to stop the box vibrating.

The last group work well,but again thin boxes.The exception is the hub cap, weedy sound, needs amplification 

Love the copper ones, do you know the thickness of the copper sheets? Did you shape the bowl and cut the holes or buy it that way?

The copper came from a scrap hot water cylinder,it's 0.62mm thick.The holes were cut with a piercing saw(must have snapped about 10 blades).The bowl was hollowed on a wooden dish.

I love this. I've developed a fondness for copper. You could even put etchings onto something like this I bet. 

*stealing idea* :)

Feel free to steal away!

I have a 2x2 foot chunk of 0.02" (0.5mm) piece of copper flashing looking for a project. Yet another one (or more) for the list!

That's enough for six guitars!Here's another variation

Nice collection off CBG's there.

Thanks Taff
