Sweet!! It's all about Tone!! Blusey
I am a little confused. I saw this ad on ebay for 7.25" O.D. cones (aluminum) constructed by you.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Cigar-Box-Guitar-Old-Lowe-Resonator-parts-cover-and-cone-Build-3-or-4-string/253205442985?hash=item3af43871a9:g:PE4AAOSwRqxZ39Ke
This page says your cones are brass and 6.5" O.D. Do you make a 7.25" O.D. spun brass cone? Do you think it would take the downward pressure of 30" bass strings? Would it accommodate a 3" biscuit for the bridge? The normal string spacing for this bass is 2&5/16" from E to G. I like the look of your brass cones and covers. I would like to use them to add a resonator to an acoustic bass guitar if they would work. Thank you for your time and attention. My email remains GZboat@yahoo.com

Hi Lowe, I am interested in adding a resonator to a Applause acoustic bass guitar. Your spun brass cones look very cool and they have an integral mounting ring, correct? That would really simplify my build. Do you ever, or would you consider, building a cone in a larger size, say 8.25" to 9.5"? I'd need a cone, cover plate, biscuit, saddle, and trapeze. Any help you could give would be greatly appreciated. If you want to continue this conversation privately, please just email me at GZboat@yahoo.com. Thank you for your time.

Hi Lowe, I just sent you a friend request, I'm interested in your cones and would like to buy one for sure, possibly more. Thanks!
Hi Lowe.......Im interested in some cones......just need to know how to order them.I sent you a friends request.......Mike(rustyhubcap)
Hey Mike,
I am ready to order at least one brass cone and a cover. I am not sure how to install a rod piezo under the bridge on one of these and I also don't know how to pay you with PayPal. Yes I have and account. can you email or call me? My number is 501-627-5344 I'm still in Ft. Smith AR. Thanks in advance! You da man!!!!

Hey Mike,
what is the shipping cost to Arkansas for a cone and so you also make the covers for them and if so how much are they? and shipping to Ft Smith AR?
Yo, Old Lowe, I'm looking to make a six string dobro and like your cones. Do you have any brass "f" hole covers to go with it" Thanx, Roland
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!
