"Seems to me the Tin Cans are pretty much a resonator already. I'd save the cone for a wood box."

Rand Moore said… Hi Mal.
I read somewhere (long ago) that Lew Dite has a Youtube video that talks about his song book. If you can search youtube using "Lew Dite" and "songbook", then I suspect you'll be able to find the video. I'd check for you, but Youtube is blocked in China.
