Hello everybody

I don't know if this is the right place to post, but I'm working on a tin can ukulele, and wondering if any of you have any good tips about material for the bridge? The diameter of the can is about 20cm and I'll be using nylon strings and wood friction pegs (by the way thanks rudy for the video link), and I guess I'll be trying out different materials - wood, metal, plastic.. Do you have any experiences with any material which can make that tin can sing?

All feedback appreciated!!
