The 5 Resonator Guitars a Pro Reviewer Bought ★ Acoustic Tuesday 154

[@thewonderfulnobodies3826]

Thanks for the shout out and thanks to Dr. Dave for hooking us all up. We're so glad you enjoyed the record!

[@jacsvihus]

Thanks Tony for adding more fuel to my the GAS condition. May favorite resonator is, well ....I am going to have to go with all of the above.

[@terrylstarks]

What a cornucopia of musical tones and joy!!!!! Thanks Tony!!!!!!

[@saoirsepaddy]

100% Mule all the way from my home State of Mich ! One day I'll get a Mule thanks Tony :) The Small scale 12 strings more like a Cittern '' Molly Tuttle :)

[@2write2sing2dance]

That’s me! I’m a woman! Thank you for featuring me, Tony!

[@penfold7800]

That maple bodied uncatagorisable square neck has a beautiful depth of sound. I could listen to that all day.x

[@vwbeetle72jellybeen]

I think THAT one has the warmth balance that the steel bodies are missing! I’d listen all day as well!

[@sbolfing]

Hands down - the Mule guitar is my favorite (BIG BUT - that Weissenborn is awesome!) Also enjoyed Bottleneck John (I dig his 12 string reso). Steve from Brazoria, TX

[@daveyjoweaver5183]

What a Fine Show Tony,,,,,,as usual! I am getting a resonator guitar for sure, made up my mind a year ago. Now which one shall it be? This is where you've become instrumental in my decision,,,,,,pun perhaps? Indeed! Many Many Thanks to You Daddy Tony and to All my fellow Guitar Geeks out there! Love, Light, Peace and MUSIC to All! DaveyJO in Pa.

I picked up a Morrel round neck this winter. This is my first resonator. I didn't know much about their construction and how they made sound, so it is a fun learning experience. The guitar came set up with a high nut made of bone, so I had a luthier friend shave it down to play at a more standard height for a round neck. I also put a lighter gauge of strings on, I think .012 for the high E string. Since I am a standard tuning fingerpicker, I love taking old church hymns and stylizing them to the resonator. The sound is very unique. I play acoustic guitar in church on a regular basis, so this may be an avenue to add something unique to a house of worship.

Another awesome episode today, Tony. When you were discussing the first resophinic, you mentioned you got it around the time you moved to Montana in 2008. Believe it or not, that made me wonder how old Aden is. As if you're totally clairvoyant, you answered that question later in the show (~24:20). Absolutely amazing! Also congrats on picking a name for TNT ("the next Tony" progeny). Cheers to you, Whit and Emerson Townes! Thanks for bringing up the Billy Cardine and Biscuit Burners. My friend, John Doan (whose Cascadeville album I sent you back in May 2018) introduced me to the Biscuit Burners a few years ago. John is a pretty tasteful resophonic player himself (along with anything else that has strings). BTW, for my preference among the resonators, it's a tossup between the Belle Beard and the Mule. They have strikingly different looks and tone, but I love them both. The full, rich sound of the Beard with all its overtones is stunning. The story of acquiring the Mule while you had on review, coupled with the Charlie Parr imagery, make that one very special. And the Emerald Amicus is in a league by itself!

[@davidedie1518]

Love the Spinal Tap clips...they go to 11!

[@charkerr6111]

I have a 1960's Orpheum Di Vecchio resonator, purchased a year ago in Phoenix. Working hard to be worthy...

[@stevenberger1926]

My favorite was the Weissenborn...the sound is AWESOME, and I like the relatively plain look of that instrument. My resonators are an OMI brass roundneck Dobro, Gretsch roundneck Boxcar, Republic brass roundneck tricone, Recording King Dirty 30's resonator, and a National Resophonic Weathered Steel Style-O. My favorite is the one I'm playing at any particular time.

[@leonfryer6876]

Hey Tony, including a brass mule I have a Donmo Rustbucket... made in South Australia, sounds amazing

[@kjgas6945]

I am loving this video thank you again Tony great show as always! I have watched every single show since the beginning all have been good!

[@vwbeetle72jellybeen]

Same! I’m trying to play catchup with all this pandemic work I’m doing it’s been tough to carve out time, but man.......AT just gets better every week!

[@benhuddle7308]

Mule! I’ve had one of Matt’s tricones for about 2 years now. Unbelievable craftsmanship. I did make a slight modification though…dropped 3 National cones in it and BAM, it upped its bite a notch…which is exactly what I was looking for.

[@MrJoeydano]

That beautiful red burst that guitar just says BUY ME. !

[@terrycote8879]

The Beard is my favorite; it's beautiful and sounds great.

[@HeartbreakerGuitars]

TP delivers good per usual! Love the show. Rolling on the floor with Spinal Tap!

[@jamesmorrison2063]

I play slide with my middle finger and can still finger chords with the other three. A resonator is on the list of guitars I still need, (want). lol I need to replace one of my 12 string guitars first. I like having one tuned standard and one tuned down a step. A segment on 12 string guitars would be great. I'll keep asking. Thanks for all the shows!

[@mchillin]

Absolutely The Mule...problem is try to get on the list to buy one !

[@DrunkenRhinoceros]

Golf is subtle and isn't about strength. Swing more gently on the drive and see if that doesn't help with accuracy, distance will come later. I really like the exposure you give reso guitars.

[@jeffcollins1172]

i didn't know you were so much into resonator guitars. I had a Gold tone PBS but borrowed a real Paul Beard; since then, had to have a Paul Beard. I sold the Gold Tone and regretted waiting so long through COVID. I today purchased a used Paul Beard Squareneck Deco 47, great price. Waiting on its delivery; waiting anxiously!

[@KaukTim]

Great episode Tony! Thanks for sharing my updated guitarsenal. The Martin D21 Special is in the shop getting a great set-up and an Anthem SL pick-up installed. It'll be good to go for open mics once we're allowed to have them again post-COVID. After watching this episode, now I want a resonator :0 oh, the GAS!

[@jimdiehl4903]

Tony, playing golf is a lot like playing guitar...practice, practice, practice and enjoy the journey!

[@jackferrell3282]

Hello Toni, my name is Jack. I'm a new viewer of your channel and now I am a life long fan! So crazy that you made this episode when you did because I have just purchased my first resonator guitar. Its a Kentucky brand tri-cone. It is a rare prototype that never made it to production! Great episode on teaching me about the different types of resonator guitars. Love the show 🎸!!

[@Richard-uh8oq]

Really liked the Emerald sounded great

[@texhaines9957]

Liked the carbon fiber critter.

[@dennism7532]

That mahogany is a beauty.

[@geddarby6053]

Tony you may care to look up Tom Doughty he is a consummate lap slide player and songwriter.

[@jaysmith792]

Really liked the Josh Swift blacked out model great sound !!!

[@stevep2430]

I have a republic guitar, a Duolian. I have no-problem with the guitar now but I had to set the action and put match sticks in screw holes that was stripped out. Action was to high. Guitar was made in China but thought I was buying from usa. I was very pissed off . When i had a close look at the setup it was easy to rectify.

[@marklinder432]

I have had the highway 61 and the tricone for a few years, love them.

[@lewolf2884]

I love the National... like you, I can't get enough of that reverb! I just got my first Resonator, a Gretsch 9241, named her Minnie the Kid, and she sounds sweet! Thanks for ALL you do!

[@danpeabody5687]

Why only one? I want them all! But lets start with the mule

[@jamesmorrison2063]

Congrads on the mandolin purchase! I've been playing one for some time. Now, I'm working on the fiddle too since it's tuned the same as a mandolin. I gotta say bowing the fiddle/violin is the hardest part. Best of luck with your mandolin. I know you will be shredding it in no time! P.S...I sent you something with a skull on it.

[@i.c.really150]

Style N National with a piece of elkskin under the tailpiece where it contacts the body to take the edge off and sweeten it up. I have a hotplate, but have not tried it yet. Owens-Zeta single cut thin body aluminium. #17 out of less than 20. Made @ Crafters of Tennessee in 02. Way Nice!

[@billpiotter8190]

Thanks for a very informative show. Speaking of resonators, Emmett Franz is a talented dobroist that I discovered playing with the Petersen family band from Missouri.

[@jakeminor1967]

That Weissenborn? Godly sound and well played!

[@wilsontorres9706]

Thank you for all the information that you give. Do you have an opinion of the recording king rd328... It seems to be popping up on KZbin... Thank you

[@arieltherealify]

I neeeeeeeeeeeeed one in my colection

[@MrJoeydano]

How you play the guitar is how I play Golf wish I could play the guitar my patience just isn’t Good !

[@cnoel190]

Best $450 purchase to date, my Republic Highway 61 UFO cover 12-to-the-body. My 'Reso' to live, if you will! Now, what about that 'slide' episode TP? Glass, brass or bone for tone. Love to know your take.

[@stevemogan5384]

The Mule.

[@koyurikuro138]

Very interesting 🤔

[@GregStraub42]

Club alignment sir, its all about the direction of the face of the club to the ball. Well assuming that your feet aren't all over the place.

[@jimdoner3443]

Tony I'd love to see an Accoustic Tuesday long version special sometime on all things accoustic across the generes maybe a holiday special.

[@cchavez248]

If I didn't know better, I would have thought that tri-cone was a really good banjo, if I were to judge it by sound!

[@HaydenMZ79]

That mandolin/guitar is awesome! Also could be considered a 12 string guitalele...ADGCEA tuning?

[@JD-pw1ww]

Great video 🔥🔥🔥

[@LS-cb7lg]

resonators are magic :D

[@brandonwoodson9348]

Why don't you interview Valerie June, she's a wonderful bluegrass musician.

[@jimconnor6476]

My favorite was the mule followed by the beard.

[@bengagliardo1080]

i only want one of then the yellow ducote finish national build by two people.. dang... in in love,,,, im hoping they made more than one of them lol..

[@Scout81]

That Beard Vintage R sounds like it would dig some Hillbilly taters. Love it....Great sound.

[@MrTuberguber]

You should look up Mike Malaska's site for golf help. He's taking guitar lessons so you share interests.

[@DaveDiprose]

Well I like the Mule Tricone best as it has a clunky tone similar to my '31 Duolian, but the sparkle and sustain of a Tricone like my 2007 NRP Tricone Replicon.

[@davidevans2298]

❤everything about the 1st 🎉

[@davidevans2298]

❤ Chris Whitley 🎉

[@csharpminorseven]

Supro Collegian - Biscuit bridge & cone? Beard vintage R - Spider bridge, different cone type- huge differences in sound but you don't mention the most important and differing characteristics of these two types of reso guitars!! For anybody wanting to learn about resos they need to know this difference so I'm surprised you don't mention them when showing the guitars.

[@CJMarsicanoPA]

That carbon fiber 12-string looks and sounds like an extended-range mandolin!

[@danscharman4266]

Explore beginner banjo education ✌️

[@jimdoner3443]

Very cool guitarsnal Tim I've got a Cromwell archtop and it's a player as well. Amazing for how they where built .

[@santinomiceli3180]

I love 💕 you're show ,I just found it because I was on eBay searching for acoustic guitars and I had found one and wanted to hear it ,👍so of course I went to you tube to see if I could find a video of somebody playing the guitar wanted and there you are, once again I love your show I don't even know if you are still on and continuing but hopefully you are press the subscribe button excellent work keep on keeping on

[@evasquez42]

How bout some lessons Tony! 🎸

[@johnbaab7728]

I like the Mule

[@ipuya]

The mule 😍

[@finleywilletts8917]

First and great video thanks

[@AGC828]

You're CDN? :) Alberta?

[@cashmoney9256]

Did you say 'guitarsenal'?

[@jimmie999999999]

i love my Mule!

[@biospheres]

Thee Number 1 question ....where in the world do you find a significant "other" ?? that allows you to buy/invest/horde so many guitars for the benefit of the human race... I am single now & for so many years ....but I still hear in the subconscious that scratching of the blackboard.. "Oh no you don't" !!!

[@BizarrePudding]

Tony, is this the same amazing sounding National/Supro that you're playing in this video?...www.bfanaticguitarworks.com/?lens_portfolio=yellow-frosted-duco-collegian...I love that instrument... The clip of Billy Cardine and Debashish Bhattacharya reminded me of a record that Ry Cooder made in the early '90s with Vishwa Mohan Bhatt called 'Meeting By The River' - beautiful record... Finally my personal hero when it comes to resonator guitars is Chris Whitley (RIP) who, although clearly rooted in traditional blues playing, expanded the range of the resonator voice in a host of different directions...I think the records 'Living With The Law', 'Dirt Floor' and 'Hotel Vast Horizon' are great examples of his creative uses of the resonator sound, both amplified and acoustic... Thanks for a super-inspiring video Tony!

[@clawhammer704]

The wooden Weiss borne sounded best imho...

[@stevelangord8652]

The Belle Beard

[@brianmyers986]

Are you a goaltender also?

[@Jess_Jones]

Named your new son after Townes? Much love

[@msd2819]

Golf?! Yes! RICK SHIELS! KZbin

[@morettirosa9515]

Ciao video fantastici sui dobrò national resofonic guitar.Giovanni..(Bormio) italy

[@MiniShowProductions]

it has to be the mule

[@chriss2452]

I am no expert by any means but I'm pretty sure that the guitar at 0:25 is not a resonator guitar

[@Randy_W]

#smallwin I finally knew the answer to a trivia question.

[@THEYCALLMESiR]

Sorry, Tony, but you live closer to Oiler country than Chi-Town...in your heart you want the Oilers to win ;)

[@gregbetts8057]

for some reason i still feel "steel bodies" sound tinny
