If you're flammable and have legs, you are never blocking a fire exit. Unless you are a table. -
Re: Wood vs. Metal Resonators
Ummm, they have different resonatingness? [img]/images/graemlins/idea2.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/poke.gif[/img]
Do you mean the full-body material or the cone? The full-metal bodied will probably sound a lot like a banjo, whereas a metal cone on a wood body would have a woody banjo tone.I want to depart this world the same way I arrived; screaming and covered in someone else's blood
The most human thing we can do is comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable.

Yeah, like the ones that are completely metal and the ones that are an acoustic with the metal thing.If you're flammable and have legs, you are never blocking a fire exit. Unless you are a table.Comment

Re: Wood vs. Metal Resonators
Wood tends to be warmer, sweeter, and *slightly* less loud (and a hell of a lot less heavy!). An excellent quality cone can pretty much take care of the volume issue, though. Think bluegrass and folk music with a woodbody.

Metal cuts like razor wire and is nasty, brash, and aggressive. A brass National has been known to stop a bullet, too. Think Delta and country blues.

My friend Ralph builds woodbodies in which the tonewoods play a much more important role than the average woodbody. He has a video on his site that you might find interesting.
