I cut most of the pieces for this on a scroll saw (and got very good at being precise with it) due to the size of the material I was working with. The first version was inexpensive 3/4" plywood, and I went with progressively better material until I was happy with the design and construction.

Each sound chamber was stained one of three colors to help associate them with the knobs that would control each.
