Who can tell me a little more about the musical instrument Paul Franklin used on the Dire Straits tour called the BOX?

Who is the manufacturer and how to contact? What is the prize of the BOX. What tuning you use on it and how is it amplified on stage?

Thanks

If you Google Paul Franklin and go to his website there is a link to Paul Franklin SR., the builder of the BOX. Not much info other than that.

I'm not really sure if I remember correctly, but; I think when Paul Sr. was building the box, the intended tuning was going to be a C6th., but; don't quote me on that!
