I took a slinky and stretched it pretty taughtly through one of those long 
cardboard tubes.. I wraped one of the slinky ends around a speaker which sat 
on one end of the tube, and the other end was attached to the original cap 
on the other end... a bit up from the end opposite of the speaker I put in a 
peizio to pick up the slinky's reverb.. It sounded alright. kinda noisey 
because I amped the signals a lot
