"Apologies Rob. Old eyes often misread computer screens. Vienna is a beautiful city any time of year. I was there several years back and found the hidden treasure to be the fine coffee shops."

"Hi Rob, to build the guitar itself would be the same, the inference is the type of cone used, if you are buying ready made cones. If utilising something else for a resonator cone, biscuit bridge would be easier. Taff"

"Thanks Taffy for the input. Construction wise: i built already a built a biscuit, which works fine, but never a spider type. From your point of view: which one is easier to build? "

Resonator string tension

Hi All,i come with a question to you about the principle of a biscuit cone resonator:What is the interaction of string tension versus sound? I assume a aluminium cone needs a certain pressure on the biscuit to perform best? Exists a value for best performance? How to calculate the pressure from the string tension, because the angle from saddle to string fixing has an big impact.The reason why i am asking: My couch guitar fall down direct on the saddle - top broken. Idea is now to use a 8 1/4…See More
