Man, that sounds great.  Nice tone and playing.  Cool tuning.

Yeah I'm using the D-G-B-e strings from an electric guitar set and have them tuned to E-B-E-b. Sometimes on a four string thing I'll use the E-A-D-b or the A-D-G-e strings. And I'm liking these kind of mountain banjo type tunings (G-D-G-d or D-A-D-a or E-B-E-b). Yes the lid is on it. And it's loud because I've got it running through an amp, using a Piezo Transducer taped inside. You have to adjust the amp carefully with these Piezo Transducers because they'll either give you feedback problems or pick up every single movement you make while touching the instrument. And the small size of the cookie tin, can make them hard to hold, that's why I started to put the longer tails on these things to have something to brace it with. Hope that clears a few things up.
