Has anyone made resonator ukulele, I have a box finished, not a cigar box but as I thought would do the job great.Now before I have made reso CBG and used an olde lowes cone, so the box I bought would have fitted that great but this time I bought republic guitars cone and cover plate, and am very pleased with them but unlike olde lowe cones you don't have to allow for the skirt as these cone fit the opersit way around.Not thinking i have allowed for the skirt and now the cone seems lost on the box.My question is do I get another box or will it still resonate the same sound. The rupublic does seem to be not as deep as the lowes.I don't want to get it all put together and find it doesn't work aspecially as I have had a brilliant neck made for it by a guy in the uk under the name of TinGuitars Mal
You need to be a member of Cigar Box Nation to add comments!
If anyone in the UK or Europe wants uke cones and coverplates, no need to pay high US prices and shipping. I'm awaiting delivery of uke reso hardware kits (spun cone, nickel plated coverplate, rosewood biscuit and maple saddle). Not sure what you paid for the Republic kit with shipping, but I reckon I'll beat that by a good margin. Should be here any day.
Resonator now finished Great sound,very pleased with it Mal

build the base up the cone sits on. as i understand it, it is the cone that resonates not the surrounds, so all that you get is a heavier box. that said it may be easier gettigna new box. do you photos?
