The Nationals and Dobros are comparably expensive, but there are several lines of Chinese-made resophonics that come with single, dual or tricone resonators that have good sounds. With any of them, from top lines on down, you must find the single instrument that has the sound you seek. I have a Johnson, which was not very expensive (and isn't fancy), which out of a dozen or so like it exhibited a very bell-like quality. I don't recommend ordering one from a catalog--just pick up and play every one you see for sale; if you find one you like, get someone else to play it for you while you walk around it and listen to the projection. Some sound almost like they are playing through amps... dave Dave Gallaher Microwave Dave & The Nukes micdave@hiwaay.net www.microwavedave.com 256-519-9993 PO Box 18622 Huntsville, AL 35804 Talkin' the Blues with Microwave Dave Tuesdays, 6-8pm.
