One of the early iterations.  I tried suspending the bars above the resonator box with wire, as an "improvement" to the string suspension it had originally.  I learned a whole bunch from this experiment, including the idea that I painted myself into a corner laying the bars out with so little room between them.  I was building the frame from scratch so there was no reason to try to squish it all together.
