Hi, The use of a inner cone ,is there for to bounce the sound back out, so it gets louder, they created (The DOpera Bros; DOBRO,in the big Band era, so they whoed bee loud enough whit the Horn section and the other instruments) the vibrations come out two way's by the cone and from the otherside in the body of the (wood or metal) f slots opening or roster hole's if you have the square neck lapstyle dobro, so sound travels ,& vibrations vibrate what you need is volume inhancement and…

<p>This is an old thread I know. But you inspired me to experiment with my build. #3 has an internal hip flask double resonator. The large flask is bolted under the small flask and is suspended freely inside the box. The sound is great and it is loud!<a href="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/723361650?profile=original" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/723361650?profile=RESIZE_710x" class="align-full"/></a></p>

never even seen one that big here in the uk, having said that ive only just started to try and get hold of boxes in the last ten day. Biggest so far is a davidoff double R's box.<br />

The resonator in this case is an aluminum lid for a girl-scout cooking set... It sits on those two rails in slots, suspended from the back of the guitar by about 1/4". This lets all the air move around...<br/>
The bridge sits directly on top of the resonator, and then the cover goes over that; neither it nor the face of the guitar contact the resonator in any way.<br/>
That's fairly typical construction.</div>

Thanks again everyone.<br />
Mungo Park, Don't really want the look of a resonator for this guitar. Kinda want to keep the box as simple looking as I can.<br />
<br />
Mark Werner, Great shot of your work. And Thank you for the info! I didn't know a resonator assembly shouldn't touch the top of the instrument. Totally cool dude!<br />
<br />
Keni Lee Burgess, I have a 1970's Yamaha acoustic. Deep and loud. Hoping to build something that will hold it's own against that kind of volume.<br />

Look toward real guitars for an understanding of acoustic technology. Notice that the soundboard (top) is free to vibrate. The wave vibrations of the strings move the brigde. The bridge moves the soundboard. This is why the top is made out of cedar or spruce (braced) and the sides are made of harder woods like rose wood. Internally this movement generates waves inside the box developing the tone and volume. Anything restricting soundboard movement will effect your sound.<br />

A resonator is not built like a standard acoustic. The whole box is fixed and stiff forcing the sound out of the resonator cone. There is no soundboard. This is why they are commonly made out of steel. They are definitely two entirely different birds.<br />
