rpjJ~ RESONATORS

Type C ResonatorNew in concept and design. Engineered to intensify (not alter)timbre or basic musical quality. An aluminum cone within thebody of the guitar acts as the sounding board. Its size, shapeand weight have been determined by exhaustive tests. Uniform-ity in manufacturing is controlled by precision design machines.Each resonator is individually fitted to an instrument. Modernpattern, chromed-brass cover plate completes the resonator as-

. sembly. A Dobro resonator combines the best in machine accur-acy with conscientious craftsmanship.

Type 0 ResonatorOriginal resonator identified with the "Dobro sound" - an in-dividual tonal color produced by no other instrument. - Alu-minum cone sounding board with attached spider bridge.Components are manufactured to optimum quality standardsand carefully assembled by hand. Sunburst sound hole designof the chromed-brass cover plate continues the Dobro tradition.
