Sadly, not an aquavina, but still neat. The next one will have a much thinner pan and will hopefully transmit sound better.

I think it has a very nice sound. Resonator/ Banjo describes it perfectly. Keep up the great work!

 

Thanks for the kind words and encouragement, Jim.

Cool!  Not an aquavina, Nate, but that instrument has a clear and interesting tone, somewhere in between a banjo and a dobro. It makes me wonder what it would sound like if you raised the strings and played with a slide.

 

Dusty, I am planning to try that soon, but playing with slide is a whole skill id have to develop to know whether it sounds good. Lol

I was really surprised to learn that it is very loud with a bow. I had assumed a drumhead would resonate very poorly when excited by a bow, since the tone has such a sharp attack with little sustain

Really does have a resonator banjo sound, Nate.
