Thanks. There's a video on my page, the instrument itself  sounds good if you can ignore the armature playing.

LOL...

Yes Dano, that was my plan all along!

Thanks for the extra views, Korrigan. I'm guessing the mouse-trap shims also protect this git from rodents attracted to the Parmesan odor coming from the grater... Nice work, really!

Thanks. Inside is a maple board that the neck is bolted to and some very hard to obtain D.O.A. brand shims.

By hard to obtain I mean hard to remember where I had set them and by shim I mean mouse trap. lol

The can is secured to the maple board by 3 screws in the back and 3 screws through the tailpiece.

Flo is quite a lady, Korrigan. Hold her close, pal. Wondering if you did anything special inside, like for bracing of the can?

I know it looks cheesy but that tailpiece was actually a Parmesan grater in a past life. :)
