Another thought is the lack of sound holes. If my understanding is correct the two sound holes should be like bass reflex tubes in speakers. Without them being connected you're losing your bass.

For my build I was considering both connecting the holes to the rear chamber and enlarging the chamber by cutting away not only the bottom middle section but the mid section also so that the hole is a cylinder (just like normal acoustic resonators). Not sure if there's enough space between the back panel and the sound holes though so might need to drill horizontally to connect up to the centre.

i did adjust the cone a bit but that is impossible with strings on in the current set up. I am going to split the bridge but there is still the rod piezo in the way.

it May be possible to use a split piezo or 2 separate rods like in a Fishman type one.

The Bass is okay, it’s more thin on the treble end, I follow your logic, I still have time to bore some connecting holes, I have to strip the strings and hardware for paint anyway.

what through hole size are you going with?
