New to making pot calls. Made a crystal over slate in a plastic dipped pot and it sounds awesome (Beginners luck). I then decided to try a crystal over copper with a secondary feather glued to the copper in a bocote pot (finished with Teak oil w/ Laquer) and it sounds horrible. I understand this is trial and error but are there any pointers or likely culprits to muffled sound? I cant get any pitch out of it. Thanks in advance from the rookie!!!

Are you using pre-cut pots and just assembling them or are you turning pots on a lathe?

I would try a different soundboard. There's not many adjustments you can make with pre-cut pots. It's either the surface combo or a glue issue.

I believe the combination is ok as I have seen a few done like this. Maybe the actual copper I got or in general the combination?
I ripped it all apart and cleaned the glue out. I will try gluing it all again. As it pertains to glue, i'm using E6000 and a syring with 18G needle. I may try it with just the E6000 tip. Is there a such thing as to much or to little glue?
Thanks for your patience.

Bocote is very oily. Glue will not hold very well if the pot cups any the surface will lose adhesion.
