4 piezo discs, 1 magnetic pickup, 1 x 3way switch, a soundwell that splits to get the cone in place from below and a big dollop of serious glue from Tescos. It will be a while before I can post any sound from it due to a big lack of talent (LOL). Regards, David

I have finally finished my resonator (pictures on my page) - I took longer than I thought I would because of a couple of bouts of man flu. Do you have any good links to playing slide guitar as I have yet to learn?
Regards,
David Lloyd

At 4:47am on November 18, 2009, JUJU said…: yes mate just got the pix - i would also say looking at the pictures the shaft looks about the same as the spec i gave you on the last message - if it is right look on ebay for Rdg tools he usually has a good selection of chucks ect

At 4:27am on November 18, 2009, JUJU said…: try and measure the short taper see if it's anything like this ?

The B16 is the Metric DIN taper number. The dimensions of the B16 "short taper" are 15.73mm taper to 14.50mm with a taper length of 24mm

At 3:03am on November 18, 2009, JUJU said…: Hi D this may explain about the Drill drift and the elongated slot i mentioned - see figure 8

At 2:44am on November 18, 2009, JUJU said…: oh sorry i forgot to mention , fully extend your drill shaft by turning the Three handles , look at the shaft there should be a elongated slot ? turn the drill drive shaft by hand to align the inner Elongated slot yuo then use whats called a drill drift ( taperd bit of metal) which you insert in the elongated slot and tap it with a hammer this then ejects the taperd shaft - it's just possible that the taper size/s may be ground into the shaft !
