thanx kingvjack...will save me from just giving up on it...actually think something like that aughta work..kill some of the vibration maybe..it really seems to vibrate TOO much..really think a sound board would make it sing..and maybe its that new spin welding mumbo jumbo instead of typical gluing...

would love to hear the ole yeller in the cherry pot..but dont wanna cough up 35$ for it to sound bad...just like wood pots...

thanx for the tip...i'll have to try it
