I couldn’t find an explanation of what the replacement buzzers are made of – is it cut out bits of gourd?

In reply to Joel Laviolette. Thanks Joel, thanks a great suggestion to mute the buzzers closest to the mic. We should definitely try that.

Nice! I always taped up most of the bottle caps and then left like 5-6 of the caps furthest from the mic untaped. In my opinion the problem is always with just having the mic too close to the buzzers. The further back the mic is the better the sound, but then obviously it picks up other stuff.

This seems well worth the effort! The buzz is such an important part of the sound, I’d almost rather have too much than none at all. Not to mention the deeper ritual and spiritual significance. This project as a whole is so amazing and important, thank you for helping make it a reality!
