How do I mount my National Reso-phonic resonator cone

Posted by Mark Jeffries on July 10, 2015 at 12:06pm

I have a nice pine box. I have cut the hole. I am just not sure how to mount the cone and the cover. If anyone has any advice I would love to hear it

Is it a cone with a spider bridge or a biscuit bridge? In either case some structure needs to be built. The big hole from the cutout needs bracing. I add posts around the hole (5 or 6 will do). And a strip of wood cut like a gasket for the cone to sit in. You have to get the cone to the right height for the bridge to line up with the finger board. The wood ring allows for the height and makes a seat for the cone. The cover plate screws over the cone to the edge of the box top. This is all shown in how to vids on YouTube.

You can see just how to do it by searching the subject on YouTube. I learned a lot by doing so. I've made several using this learning tool.
