Bill Talley said he got it from someone else but doesn't remember who. I found out the following information after I posted the picture. Here's a trick from Elias Kaufman, foremost authority on S.S. Stewarts: cut a wine-bottle cork to wedge snugly between the dowel stick and the head. Place it a few inches from the heel end of the pot, and experiment to find the best "sweet spot" position. This expedient works well on open-back banjos with dowel sticks, and might work well on those with resonators, although I haven't tried this. Here's probably Bill's source ARCHIVED TOPIC: Wine cork as tone/volume enhancer in open backs http://www.banjohangout.org/archive/114091
