<p><strong>Recording King RM-991-S Tricone Resonator: Century-Old Sound, Modern Craftsmanship</strong></p>

<p>Experience the legendary tricone sound that was originally created nearly a century ago with the <b>Recording King RM-991-S Nickel Tricone Squareneck Resonator</b>, an exceptional instrument that combines band-level volume with bell-like clarity for authentic blues, Hawaiian, and country playing. This remarkable resonator features the unique tricone design that delivers orchestral chime and projection, making it the perfect complement for steel-played squareneck performance just like the original masters intended. With history literally in your hands, this instrument looks and sounds like a century-old closet classic while incorporating modern craftsmanship and reliability.</p>

<p>Built with traditional materials and time-tested construction methods, this tricone resonator showcases a nickel-plated bell brass body that provides the warmth and tonal rounding that softens projected notes while maintaining exceptional volume and clarity. The heart of the instrument lies in its three hand-spun European Recording King cones, crafted from premium aluminum that delivers unmatched resophonic volume and the distinctive tricone throatiness that defines this legendary sound. The mahogany squareneck with Padauk fretboard provides smooth steel guitar playing, while professional appointments include a sandcast powder-coated <i>T-Bridge with ebony and maple saddle</i>, open gear tuners with black buttons, and abalone dot position markers. The open pan soundwell allows the chiming overtones that make this guitar famous to resonate freely.</p>
