Electric Tub

This instrument is made entirely by me (Rob), right down to the pickup.
I taped the handles down so they don't rattle.
The top of the handle. The hole is drilled at more or less 45 degrees to relieve tension at the point the string exits. Helps prevent breakage there.
Close up of eyelet
The pickup from the outside, and the 1/4" output jack mounted right next to it.
Eyelet from the inside
Notch at the bottom, flared out a bit at the ends. This rests on the lip of the tub.
Pickup from the inside. The piezo buzzer element (radioshack, $2.50) is stuck on one of the stir sticks with silicone and then both stir sticks are sandwiched together with silicone in between. Then the whole thing is fixed to the side of the tub with 6/32 machine screws and nuts.
Close-up of the pickup. You can barely make out the piezo disc in between there.
