Thank you for actually playing some regular acoustic chords and riffs, so we can compare it to the sound of a regular acoustic guitar. Ppl love to demo resonators with aggressive slide riffs which make it hard to distinguish the tone of the instrument from the tone of slide guitar

Thanks for your efforts at this comparison. The tricones have such a surrounding tone! Single o resonators accent the individual notes with power and your excellent playing even made the Gretsch sound like a national. Impossible to decide on a favorite. I prefer the swampy sound of a single cone metal, but it is always just a preference.

A really wonderful review of these glorious instruments. I'd always thought of resonators as being 'harsh' and 'crashy', which obviously is a product of my ignorance, as in the hands of a master like Benjamin, they reveal their beauty is matched by some sweet and sensitive tones and long bell-like sustain!

What a great video!!! And incredible playing!!! Thank you for doing this; so wonderful to hear all the variations. As far as tricones, I preferred the National. The Mule sounded great too but the larger square sound holes of the National made it more open (I'm sure the Mule would have similar tonal properties if it had similar sound holes.) It also seeemed like you felt a greater comfort with the National. Love JMT's designs and they have a wonderful and unique tone too. I was slightly surprised to hear less pronounced differences among the single cones although they each had slight differences. Really surprised the Gretch held up but I think that is due largely to you , the player. Merci!!

Wow! Not one sounds like the other... So hard to decide on a favorite one as far as sound is concerned, what a dilemna if I had to buy one, and that applies to each category ... Being a poor musician myself, I would probably be choosing on aesthetic criterias!! And for that my heart would beat for the JMT models, they definitely stand out with their unique body shapes. Just so good looking, absolutely gorgeous. Shall I call that the French touch 🙂?

@benjaminguillet3210 They're all pretty amazing sounding instruments. Tri-cone I gotta take the Mule, it's got a really great character that feels exactly like I imagine a resonator to sound. The wooden JMT single has a really nice snappy banjo thing going on, and that white steel JMT is wild and almost sounds too big for the room! The Leno spider bridge is absolutely beautiful and has a tasty warmth that would make me take that. But I'd have any one of the whole range to be honest 😂

Great video, fascinating. How interesting that all these European builders stand up so well to the Americans. As we would expect, each is an individual, strong in its own way. The only comment I might make is that you play without fingerpicks which (I think) most resonator players (but not all) use and the sound with fingerpicks is substantially different. But thanks for the video and great playing too. And you handled the English language in a complex subject matter that is quite specific to what is usually considered an American genre of music. Very well done.

@@benjaminguillet3210 Thanks for the note. As you know, many players do use finger picks, metal or plastic for a brighter and louder sound. I don't think you could play bluegrass on a dobro without them. I use them on a 1930 Square necked National tricone. Kelly Joe Phelps is a fabulous player, but consider John Fahey (playing a Weissenborn) who always played with picks. To each his own.

Beau panorama des différents types de résophoniques, avec tout de même une absence : les modèles vraiment électriques (type National Resolectric), mais on ne peut pas tout acheter !

Another amazing video from you. Thank you! May I ask you a question? Which type of cone out of these three do you think is the most suitable for the music you're playing in this video, or classical finger style to folk, blues and country music as well? I'm looking for a resonator guitar that would play these music. I don't play slide guitar. I love to play those which I mentioned. Thank you very much!
@benjaminguillet3210
@benjaminguillet3210 Ай бұрын
Thanks for your words ! That's a BIG question. If you're playing American musics mainly, then the 3 types of cones can fit perfectly. If you're a bit more into country, the spider can be the good choice. A bit more into blues, the singlecone. If you are looking for a long sustain, the tricone. Personally, If I were looking for the most versatile type of resonator, I'd go for a wood body tricone. You can play everything with a tricone. Even if it's probably the hardest kind of resonator to tame. Another important thing is budget. If you don't want to spend a lot of money, forget the tricone. All cheap tricones are crap, they sounds like garbage. 700 dollars Gretsch singlecone are great. But if you have a bigger budget to buy a more expensive instrument, then National Resophonic or Mule cans be perfect. In conclusion, you have to try some and find the one for you. I hope it helps.

@@benjaminguillet3210 in some ways I like republic reso better than national and mule. They are less expensive but I like their raw. On the back porch southern black early blues sound. I think the mule and national too refined if I had just one. The car strings are high on the highway 61 and a player said that part reason for strong reso feel/sound

Merci beaucoup pour ce test détaillé. Difficile de choisir même si j'ai une petite préférence pour la Leno. Pourrais tu préciser le poids dans les prochains tests car c'est un critère important et éventuellement le prix ?

Tricone-The National sounds best to me. Very open and full. I wonder if I would feel differently if you’d played another one first…?
@benjaminguillet3210
@benjaminguillet3210 Жыл бұрын
As you said it's the more open. The Mule has a bit more compression due to the smaller size of the F holes compare to a standard tricone.

Sonically, I think the white JMT metal body wins the single cone. The Gretsch didn’t sound bad at all but I could tell it was less easily played

That was an excellent comparison .I have to say the last three spidercone guitars had the best sound ,The Leno was slightly the better of the three .Jerry Douglas said that the spider cones have the best sound ,He is right .I have a fancy Dean metal crome and gold with a biscuit bridge .I will change it to a spider cone after hearing the difference. Thank you so much for this comparison .they all sound pretty close the same .it boils down to playability. $4000 resonator don't sound any better than a $400 resonator.
