Grah, not sure how it's work as a portable pa system as it kinda looks like a whiskey still. As a
word of caution, though, go with a copper pot. The galvanized metal is poision for a still. My dad's family was moonshiners and as a point of fact - if you drink enough 'shine all music will sound good.
From the looks of the sound equipment you don't need power or a string of cables to make the system work.

Know what you mean Nela, its coming up to moonshine time here in Crete Raki brewing starts at the end of this month .
I suspect the reason Lou has made this system is its a bit of a protest against the authority's stopping the use of amplification in bars unless they are licenced and the artists are all insured. I didn't think The west of the island had been affected but it looks now if they too have been .
Another friend who has a taverna in Sitia where we live recently had his place closed for 10 days and received a heavy fine .
Businesses are struggling to make ends meet with out the government driving the customers away, Maybe Lou has the answer.
Re: Matala Acoustic project
The first thing I thought of was a still,but it I think it will help amp up the acoustics.

Re: Matala Acoustic project
I see a business opportunity here..... might be a good time to "corner the market" on resonator guitars!!
And a question: Insurance??? What kind of liability can a band have that requires insurance? Hearing loss, promotion of public drunkeness, electrical fire, amplifier collapse, insanity due to dischordant progression, loss of sleep, hangover, unintentional pregnancy,....... What??!!!

Re: Matala Acoustic project
when i saw the funnels first thing that came to mind was the temperance 7. any one else remember them? winchester cathedral?
it's funny how disco's (or whatever the modern equivalent is) can go on blasting boom boom music (?) till 5 or 6 in the morning, yet live music has to stop at midnight. give me a live band anytime amplified or not.
Ask not what Chordie can do for you, but what you can do for Chordie.
