The phrase "tremulous movement" springs to mind.
I think I'll think about something else....

I wouldn't mind trying one of these. They look as if they stand a chance of being quite decent instruments.

Different sort of recycling: look at single malt

Hi all. I hope I haven't sent this twice. Netscape just crashed. I'm the infamous Commodium's maker. You can hear it at CD Baby. The band is The Joy Buzzards. Tracks 2,3,9,10. Also Driving with Fergus, track 5. Our stuff is in the blues, jug band, old jazz, Hawaiian vain. Joe Craven has one and says he'll use it on his next CD. We'll see. Besides being loud and lusty, I can kick it across a cement floor to my partner, Bob Armstrong. He doesn't do that with his 30s Nat Tricone. It won't stop a bullet. I tried. It is very solid, though. -- on potty humor, someone just called me an anal craftsman. Keith keithcary.com

You all are inspiring me. I've been out in the shop picking out a few bedpans for the next three. Damn, not I've got to produce... I discovered I had some unused NOS pans that I'd forgotten about. For some reason, some people prefer them. Keith

Where's Catspaw for an apt comment when you need him?!!

A specimen bottle might make a good pairing in a jug band...

Nice one Keith...you are a true loothier!

Peace

Keith,

Have you considered etching the stainless ala National Steel guitars? Instead of palm trees, though you could do something like an outhouse motif with a moon on the door...

Well, etching has been a little out of my budget, though I'm on the verge of having the center hole cut by water blasting instead of me making a lot of noise with a saw. However, if you look at the peghead logo you might see a subtle reference to the moon. -- Does anyone know who to talk to to get on at the jug band fest in N Calif?   Keith

Hmmm, I have a guitar neck attached to an enamelled bedpan without any resonator plate.
