So a friend and I have been wrestling with the idea of making what I like to call a "hankulele." The idea is that we make a Hank drum and then attach a neck and strings to it. We have been talking about where to attach the neck to work best, and other things like that, but I am mostly concerned about the thickness of the tank. Will it vibrate at all with the strings?
 
What about if we used steel strings?

I've never owned a resonator, so I don't really know how those work, but is this somewhat the same principle?
 
What about a big ol' hank bass? That would be really cool!
 
It sounds like my friend wants more of a hank guitar anyways.

This is how I envision it to be like:



What if I tuned the bass to ukulele tuning, but an octave (or two) lower? Steel strings and the works.
