Thank you, again very interesting

It has a very good sound, I guess something like a cymbal, the brass keeps on "ringing" forever. The three holes is from the original hinge on the bed heater, You can't see it on the picture, but both top and bottom is brass, there was at 2 feet stick attached to it to carry it from the stove to the bed. I don't have a picture of it before i started but it was something like this http://www.lauritz.com/da/auktion/varmebaekken/i2732586/

Oh yes, very nice, I'll probably try a cymbal, thanks

Humm?  I wonder what it would sound like using a cymbal? 

It looks like you tried attaching the strings at the saddle or as a tailpiece first? 

Then moved to the bridge?

How did or does it sound acapella, i.e. without a pickup
