penis
they all do in the right hands.

I think it's peak FAP. it's really well paced and kinda cool, but unsettlingly with its intelligence, nonetheless.

I've been very interested in building a daxophone ever since discovering the instrument several tears [EDIT: That was a typo, but too amusing to change] back. I've read they're not easy to make (make well that is), but I always wanted to try.

At any rate, building a fretted dax was the one aspect of the whole thing that seemed totally beyond my capabilities, so I was glad to find one for sale online recently.

While I still don't have a built/cobbled together soundbox or tongues, I am really excited to start experimenting with the possibilities. Using the dax on guitar and lapsteel alone is a lot of fun, though it pretty instantly sounds reminiscent of Hans Reichel, which is not a bad thing, but not necessarily something I want to make a habit of relying on with this new (in terms of my own usage) tool.

Current incarnation of what has turned into my main "axe":

I've tried for a while now to come up with ideas for how to get new, varied sounds out of an old idea. Different, often softer/resonant materials (wood, hollow plastic), different quantities of material (less usually being more in my experience), using wadded paper interspersed with junk, etc.

This box was fitted with springs I prepped by coiling lengths from a reel of "twisty tie" wiring I stripped the rubber coating from around a mini screwdriver IIRC.
Recently, I added the old guitar strings, with the lighter gauge attached by feeding it from inside around the hinges and clamping the lid down on it and the heavier one anchored down with foil tape. The strings were bent into roughly coiled shapes for extra-animated sound by winding them around pliers or a Sharpie, though they obviously don't hold their shape very well without being given a lot of time to set. I also used the foil to to anchor specific segments of the strings that produced particularly interesting, reactive sounds closer to the body

Eventually, I want to try coating the inside of a container with wax or liquid rubber or something to dull the rattle of metal on metal significantly, and to possibly apply it to the exterior to muffle handling noise slightly.
