    Hey mike, got my cone today. that was fast, man. thanks.
    this will be my first reso so I could use some guidance. Mark Lillo says you have a suggestion for piezo disc placement. also, can I build with the standard 1x2 maple through-neck i've used for my regular guits?

    I must say, I love your work!  I will definitely have to get some resonator cones from you at some point, those look and sound fantastic.  What do you do to your guitars to get that old, worn look?  If this is information you would rather not divulge, that is ok, I understand.  They certainly are unique.  Never seen anything quite like them.  Keep up the awesome work.

    Hey Lowe,

     I am about to finalize my reso.  I am thinking of adding a pickup before I close it up.  With your Alu cone, what type would you recommend and where should it be located?  I have no experience in the arena and need some advice.  I have some pics on my page.   Your thoughts,  john hopper

    How deep does the box need to be to work best with your brass resonator cones.

    I've built about 20 CBGs and am ready to build a reso. Do you sell a kit with a cone, a bridge or whatever I need to make it work. I could go thru Gitty but I'm not far from you in ft Worth. I think I would want to go with Brass. Give me some input and dos and don'ts. thanks,

    Ken

    Howdy Mr. Lowe! I was thinking of putting together a new dulcimer build with a double course - could I ask you how close you put the 2 strings, and how you tune them? Cheers!
