National ResoPhonic NRP Tricone Brass Body with Antique Brass Finish It is always good to have a National ResoPhonic NRP brass Tri-cone hanging here in the shop. The problem is; they never last long! The brass body and the three cones have a distinctive sound that is all their own. In a Tricone instrument, the three cones are set in a triangle configuration. Two of the cones are on the bass side and one on the treble. An innovative "T" shaped bridge connects to the center of each cone, which in turn has a maple saddle sitting atop the bridge. In a single resonator guitar, the maple biscuit sits atop the cone and the strings are in direct contact with the cone. On a Tricone the sound is spread out between the cones and contributes to it's unique sound. A Tricone is not as loud on the attack as a single cone, however the sustain is greater and the tone can be defined as "sweeter". The three cones vibrate together and produce more harmonics overall than a single cone. The brass body has an Antique Brass finish, mahogany neck with an ivoroid bound ebony fretboard. The ebony board helps to give definition to notes and the mahogany neck feels like a dream. The vintage-style National tuning machines sit on a traditional slotted headstock, topped off with the distinctive National shield decal. Slide notes ring out and sustain for days, chords are mellow and sweet. The nickel finish is polished to a mirror like shine which completes the elegant design. The signature tone and look of Nationals Instruments can not be duplicated or rivaled. Don't miss out on the chance to add one to your collection!!Features :
