A classic resonator for crafting your own classics
The Recording King Hawaiian Metal Body Resonator is fashioned in the classic Style-O shape, and sports a 9.5", hand-spun cone that delivers awesome sound projection and a vintage tone that sings the blues—as well as Americana, folk and even edgy rock. The bell brass construction and nickel-plated body—not to mention the etched Hawaiian tableaus—evoke the resonators of the 1930s and 1940s, but keep in mind that more modern players such as Eric Sardinas, Nancy Wilson and Derek Trucks wield these instruments to expand the scope of their artistry.
