<p>I have done 3 builds and only one I did put a piezo in the box. The other 2 were strictly for acoustic guitar and to enhance the sound. I don't think a lot about the science of it all, I just go with it. I have been fortunate to have good results, and as someone stated, they can easily be removed. For me, more is not better in regards to how many strings, I am pleased with 2. The tricone was a step up seeing that I was building from scratch a poor man's idea of a tricone, each can has a…</p>
<p>I have done 3 builds and only one I did put a piezo in the box. The other 2 were strictly for acoustic guitar and to enhance the sound. I don't think a lot about the science of it all, I just go with it. I have been fortunate to have good results, and as someone stated, they can easily be removed. For me, more is not better in regards to how many strings, I am pleased with 2. The tricone was a step up seeing that I was building from scratch a poor man's idea of a tricone, each can has a spring. Again, I like the results, but this hobby seems to be kinda like art, it is in the 'ears of the beholder'. This is why I love these guitars, each one sounds different than the next. <a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/306705509?profile=original" target="_self"><img width="431" class="align-full" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/306705509?profile=original"></a></p> Yeah.

<p>Yeah. I would change the design on this though, that central location makes tuning difficult. It sounds ghostly, like a harmonic drone emphasising tones that were just played. It really sounds unusual, I haven't heard anything quite like it.</p>
<br />
And you have to be careful not to bump the guitar

<p>Yeah, good stuff, look up Fred Carlson's stuff too. (mentioned in the vid of description I think) he has some very original and creative concepts as well.</p>

<p>Yep the last vid is crazy. That's all I got. Crazy that last vid, how the heck did he do it. This would also be fun to build into our homemade amps. I know guys take the reverb units out of old organs and car stereos and do this, but the process is a mystery. </p>

<p>OK, If were gonna talk springs inside, lets move from sympathetic to.... How about some more food for thought?</p>

<p>I haven't tried springs but these are sympathetic strings that are tuneable. Mixed results but this is experimental.</p>
