| I'm thinking about buying a round neck resonator guitar and I was wondering if anyone can give me any advice about one. I'm primarily interested in using it for blues. From the little I've heard, blues players seem to prefer the biscuit type resonator over the spider type. Thanks, Bert

I have prefered a biscuit bridge. I jast sold a Dobro Hula Blues and will be gettin a National El Trovodor pretty soon now. I hve play ed the later and relly like the larger and deeper body. The tone is awesome. I just keep playin them as they come along. I never met a Resonator I didn't like.

| Thanks, David. I've heard of that brand. Looks like I'm going to have to go to Nashville to find some resonators to check out. Local music stores have only square necks. Bert

| You may want to think about whether you want a tricone or a single cone also. I started with a National Vintage Steel Tricone and as I started liking more and more Delta stuff I ended up trading in the Tricone for a National Style O Replicon which is a single cone. I decided the Tricone gave me more sustain but it didn't have the bass that I wanted and the single cones, to my ear, have more bass. Midnight Shadow Chuck

| Thanks, Chuck. The research I've done agrees with your assessment. Bob Brozman has a site with some mp3 files of different types of resonators. I love the sound of the tricones but I think they're more of a bluegrass type of instrument. I haven't been able to find any locally in Jackson, TN so I'll have to go to Nashville to get my hands on some differnt models and check them out.
