The Resonator

[GreyFloyd]

Hi fellow resonators! Thanks for the tips so far. I have a bunch of questions but feel I should look at the stewmac links to get a handle on some of the issues. I'd be happy to keep in touch on any new thread if you want to steer clear of an amateur like me. Not sure what the sound holes/tea strainers actually contribute; one of the holes is also a loose interpretation FW. The Piezo has me beat; not sure how that fits (to bridge??); also have a small ebony blank. It seems that the routing issues you guys had may have been solved in mine, although it still looks a bit rough. Would be nice to have a wiring diagram - did check the w-I-p instruction manual and its link to wiring but no luck there.

How loud is the piezo compared to the humbucker with this circuit?

The humbucker is TWICE as loud as the piezo. It works fine but I suspect a pre amp would take it to a much better level.

Drill a hole at red arrow, run wire down through and along the spider allowing the piezo to sit in bottom of spider and then the wooden bridge sits on top of the piezo.

Put your cone in place and with a LITTLE pressure on the cone centre rotate the cone and look for any mark on the body showing cone contact. Will look like this ...



Easy fix to get cone clearance and increase volume of the box and possibly increase sound when unplugged.
