I bought some poly pots from Grassy Creek to play around with-small pots (3") with a poly sound board (2 1/2") that I put slate on.The sound is very very muted.

would it help to sit the soundboard on a washer or something? How about drilling a hole thru the enntire pot including the soundboard?

I appreciate any advice from you experienced guys!

Are you saying there is nothing under the soundboard for a pedestal?
You can't just glue the soundboard down to the bottom of the pot, there has to be some space under it, or it isn't going to play or sound to good.

If you need to install a pedestal for your sound board, get a peice of 1 inch pvc pipe and cut it so the top of your pipe is a 1/4" below the ledge that your playing surface rest on. glue it in with goop and glue your sound board on to it this should get you close to where you need to be. if your sound board is glued to the floor of the pot your not getting the vibration you need.

I wondered (no instructions) since I put my glass on a washer for my slate/wooden pots.A washer under the plastic soundboard (that is suppossed to go with it) is going to be a very close fit if the soundboard isnt actually touching the slate.

From the description on the web page, it seems like you're supposed to glue the soundboard to the slate not the pot- if I'm reading it right.
