I know this guitar player/sound man cat, and he told me that back in the sixties when the rock guys wanted a "fuzz" sound before pedal effects were available, the guys would take a razor blades and make cuts in the speakers of their amps... obviously, the cuts had to radiate out from the center like little sunrays or else the whole cone would've fallen apart.
So now I'm thinking of cutting up my resonator cone in a similar manner, but I guess I should really wait until I've purchased a second cone just in case this idea is a big flop...
But I'm definitely going to try combining the cone cuts with Martin Taylor's cardboard idea...

Paul Cezanne: "I could paint for a thousand years without stopping and I would still feel as though I knew nothing."
Edgar Degas: "Only when he no longer knows what he is doing does the painter do good things.... To draw, you must close your eyes and sing."
Georges Braque: "In art there is only one thing that counts: the bit that can’t be explained."
mwaddell,
Thanks for posting that! Very cool. If I had heard that without knowing how it was done, I would have sworn there was a steel drum in there (Martin Taylor is the shit!)
