Comment by Glenn Kaiser on January 1, 2021 at 9:42am: Thx Unc and Poorness- yeah well there were 2 or 3 ideas I got from CBN builds and th ought I wanted the Peanut can readable and wondered at the possibility of 2 diff. sounds easier heard if not both facing open to the each other. So there. Next up a diddley in box- neck on top (Crow-type) w. ersatz "tuner" w. reverse wingnut INSIDE of closed box, nice hole for soundout in bottom of box, so the lid is easy to open facing yer belly. A day or two perhaps. I LOVE trying out fresh idex as... Thx and may your New Year be Bright! -Glenn

Comment by Poorness Studios on January 1, 2021 at 5:47am: We'll that's different. I can't say I've seen one of those. Nice work Glenn.

Comment by Uncle John on January 1, 2021 at 4:08am: Gee, Glenn. I envisioned both can openings facing each other. Hmm. Curiouser and curiouser. I like the way it sounds.
