Comment by Joe Caruso on June 24, 2018 at 5:44am: Ok now that I see this I gotta try it out and see how it sounds.

Comment by the anonymous pick on June 23, 2018 at 12:11pm: just noticed the ruler bridge ;-)

Comment by Dave Lynas on June 23, 2018 at 12:04pm: With this orientation it make easy access to the box. I might scrape out some of the hot glue and add a little wood kerfing inside and add a peizo. I like the latch. Works perfect.

Comment by Uncle John on June 23, 2018 at 2:23am: Dave, I don't quite know why I mounted it that way. Just wanted to, I guess. That little hook eye unscrews for access to inside the box.
