Republic TriCone Resonator Guitar | Rogo at Norman's Rare Guitars

[@groovemonkey2498]

Her playing really resonates with me.

[@barryferguson8149]

Did you really think you could just slide that in there?

[@cchavez248]

Lol, very punny!

[@rioromero4474]

Nice

[@dankmemelord904]

Her low cut top is what is resonating with me.

[@stringthing593]

She can play that thing

[@edgarcook9607]

I have owned both the National ($3200.00) and now the Republic Tricone, which was $799.00. The Republic sounds great and I'd almost say I can't tell the difference between the two, but then some would say I'd sound as if I have no ears. The resonator internals inside the National are certainly more rugged. I've had to have one of these ever since "The Progressive Blues Experiment" came out.

[@davidpotsdam]

I grew up when Nationals hung from the ceiling of every pawn shop in Miami. and you could not give them away. Ask Norm he was in Miami late 50's.

[@russclewley6945]

Haunting tones! Love it!

[@johnsennett1690]

What could be the cost as long as I have been paying I never saw one like that nice tone norm

[@jsilvia1960]

Rogo looking good and swinging that slide like a boss!

[@A-staticCal]

She had me the first time the slide hit the strings. Awesome playing, I could listen to that all day.

[@kellyeson9506]

Wow, that guitar is beautiful!

[@edge1289]

I have that Tri Cone and my son has the rusty Republic Tri Cone, well made and sound great.

[@bluez1981]

Seems I've heard this style of music all my life. I'm going to have to get one of these

[@jamesgretsch4894]

She's an excellent player. Wish I could jam with her.

[@JAKENMK]

Love how tight and smooth this guitar sounds, they must be quite a heavy set of strings though.

[@TomO.3678]

That is one great sounding resonator guitar. I still love my old Nationals, tho. Very fine playing, Rogo 👍🏻

[@FL5_OGryan405]

I think she was the first person to hit the guitar on that wood shelving in the back room lol. I was wondering when someone would accidentally do that.

[@marlobreding7402]

I use a VW 1600 piston wrist pin as a slide for my Regal RC2 resonator. It has great sustain.

[@nickiemcnichols5397]

Nice.....I’d love a reso ukulele like that.

[@jeankoevoets1156]

Great sustain.!! Well played, thanks

[@robertrohrs9195]

I love the Republic. Great guitars

[@Euli63]

Wonderful sounding resontor guitar! ...with an even greater sounding price!

I like this lady, she rocks. I have trouble calling her Rogo when I know her name is Sara(h) with or without the H. She plays quite well!

[@HiggaionSelah_EWFMG]

I've a Republic biscuit reso in antiqued nickel finish, love the sound, wish it was a spider but hey, love the sound.

[@jerkerjansson386]

Awesome sound!

[@markbundy1694]

You Rock Rogo!!! TriCones are Great,, But DualCones are Utterly Amazing!!!

[@larryn2682]

You mean a "Duolian," which has a single biscuit cone.

[@m.a.c.8366]

...wow this takes me back to Chris Whitley! I do not know what his choices in guitars were recording or otherwise... but you struck a very memorable reference to a very special artist and some exceptional songs... TYVM

[@KCBarr1]

Chris was a National guy.

One of these days I will click on a Rogo video without people posting creepy comments and that day is not today

[@crishealingvtuber8626]

People really do suck, huh

[@jimbucket2996]

No shit eh? She deserves respect.

[@joermnyc]

Folks gotta think, “Would I say something like this to my sister... or my mom?” If the answer is no, then don’t say it.

Splended, Your so right mate, But the first words I heard her say was "In my Hand, I have a Tricone" Well if you live in NZ as I do, the first thing you think of, is sheep, The second would be---

[@Meymeygwis]

Killer player! I have a Republic Miniolian parlour wood and reso, lovely and affordable. One thing to be aware of this that neck, very wide nut!

[@marlobreding7402]

My favorite slide is a wrist pin out of a 1600 cc VW Beetle engine. It's very hard a is bright, also it can make harmonics by bowing across strings.

[@VonBluesman]

Nice demo. Great job. Stay safe.

[@theadoresmith2777]

Loooovvve those resonators ...

[@sytsevanderharst1339]

I’d like to hear something about how the national and this Republic compare. I own a republic roundneck and I love it. The sound is very good. The playability isn’t that good. Very thick wide neck and also very high action which can’t lower than it is now... but I love the sound of it!

[@dekehager3648]

Killer playing ✊🏽

[@toobasaurus23]

I've never played guitar before. I can play trumpet, drums and piano. I really want to play blues on resonator. Any tips on where I can learn online and what guitar I should buy as a beginner? Many thanks in advance.

[@joecampagna3662]

awesome as always

[@Dragon1165]

So a copper slide will give you what kinda sound? Curious because a friend wants to make a few.

[@stevethuss2707]

sweet sound.

[@62tofreedom51]

I can feel your feel.

[@DrunkenRhinoceros]

Not seeing this on the website Norm?

[@wyattearpp9540]

I'm a fan of Coricidin glass, I use it as it eliminates the sometimes annoying sound of each string wrap...love this though!

[@58landman]

I owned a Republic and that brand has the potential to become a great guitar but the necks are like a slightly rounded 2x4. I gave it back, bought a National and have had it for years. Got a Mule, too.

[@matthews5531]

All I know is chrome guitars are cool. Like your slide playing there sister 😎

[@jedsparks7324]

My old Republic is still going strong.

[@orsonwells7997]

Frosted glass slide sounds awesome.

[@derael61]

[@wildbill7]

[@Popsaircraftdetail]

Beautiful and talented awesome

[@scottjeffers7291]

Try a Royall.. bought a tri cone cutaway for $$700 and love it!!!

[@Hikaru109Ichijyo]

i have this one, its pretty nice and sounds sweet as this one in the video, and has the bell like tones . . . vs the recording king's version in same price range, (the rking is heavier and more muddier / raw sounding) , the recording king has a wider neck too.

[@gt4viking789]

That guitar screams Ry Cooder 👏🏻

[@rodjones117]

Ry doesn't use resos

[@Lalairu]

I would love to see a video of Sarah explaining different resonator types

[@johnkruck1]

How do these sound when you play the traditional chords?

[@roberteberhart1139]

I was walking down by the crick on the hottest July night. Full moon and crickets churpin. She was, sitting on an old hickory stump wearin nothin but a smile and playing with her resonator for me.

[@MrPHart]

Roberto Hart stated; and I repeated, "1139, I don't believe a word of it!" Lets see, what creek off of what river? Located in what state, in what county, in what country. Lets see, what are the markings on your map, top and sides? I just don't believe, however if you share I'll bring the alcohol, and little ol rag weed from Mexico and "playing with her resonator" well I also know that spot on my gal from New Mexico. I'm thinking of buying a resonator from Ol Mexico but they are hard to get back across the border here in New Mexico without making a lot of noise. I'm told, Texas is an easier border to cross. I'll let you try my resonator if you let me cross back into the good old U.S.A. Fool we're talking about guitars not humans, now what where you thinking?! Bad, BAD Sad? But some of them can sing I'm told? Fool we're talking about guitars....etc!

[@leosgf]

Which tuning is she using?

[@luisvillarreal5262]

They should have tuned it for her, before the recording of the video. She plays great though.

[@nickiemcnichols5397]

Luis Villarreal anyone who can play that well can certainly tune it themselves. I didn’t hear anything out of tune.

[@markwathen975]

Cool

[@Armin.T9]

It has a banjo-like sound.

[@CyberiusT]

She should do a duo with Justin Johnson.

[@stefanodelstef7988]
