Surprisingly good I think, although different from how I thought it might sound when I was planning it. The first guitar I ever made used an almost identical box but it has a distinctly different sound - partly that's down to different strings and tuning but also I think there are other random factors at work. I think tins and metal boxes have great potential but they also have their problems - for example they sometimes exhibit rattles or unwanted resonances, which I then need to work on surpressing through various techniques.

I've been meaning to post a load of sound samples of my instruments but I've been a bit slack. I'll try to get around to it in the next week or so.
