12 fret resonator TAMPA, bell brass body nickel finish, with softcase

The tricone model with its art deco design has three 6” resonator cones that deliver a rich sound with lots of sustain. The sound is much less direct and less voluminous than that of its single cone counterparts, but the loss in volume will be more than compensated by complexity of tone. The bell-brass body is finished in polished nickel and will impress in looks and sound. Playability is, as always, spot on. The luthiers that set up these instruments actually play resonator guitar. In the Royall workshop, the resonators are handspun to suit these instruments. Since this is the heart of the sound, the Royall handspun resonator cones make a huge difference. The best quality available! A lightweight soft case is included.
