Dog Dish Resonator

Posted by Dave Brickner on September 15, 2014 at 5:23pm in Performances, How to Play, Lessons, Concerts

I have built seven or eight CBGs - all different - all interesting.  I am about to tackle a dog dish resonator and wonder where is the best blade to attach the piezo pickup.  the dish is essentially upside down so it appears like the two options are in the bottom of the dish or on a side.  I suppose, if I was really ambitious, I would do both and provide selection of either or both in series or parallel.  Any thoughts are welcome.

    306350129?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024306350358?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024I have made several cat bowl concert & tenor ukuleles with a preamp and a under saddle rod piezo.  Using nylgut strings they sound very good with no box sounds.  You have to design the tail so that you get a heavy down force on the saddle.

    I would get one of those extremely nice looking biscuits from Randy S. Bretz and solve the whole pickup/ bridge problem in one shot.
