Comment by Keni Lee Burgess on June 9, 2011 at 7:26am: Ya, you definitely got a good tone with this build. I really like the tin. I bet there was something tasty in there too at one time. How about some vocals? Thanks for sharing. Enjoy.

Comment by Slowpaw Steve T on June 8, 2011 at 6:35pm: Yum Yum my favourite!! (-;

Comment by Brian on June 8, 2011 at 2:26pm: love the sound of it! ... is a wooden box right ?

Comment by Uncle John on June 8, 2011 at 2:23pm: I'm with Tex and John M. Sounds great and looks cool. Good playing too. Photos would be appreciated.

Comment by Roadkill a.k.a. John Maw on June 8, 2011 at 11:39am: Any chance of putting photos up? It's so interesting that it would be good to see it from various angles and some of the detail.

Comment by Roadkill a.k.a. John Maw on June 8, 2011 at 11:37am: What a wonderfully unusual looking instrument. It sounds very nice too. Excellent work all round.
