Frequently Asked Questions
The three resonators create a more complex and shimmering tone, offering greater volume and a wider frequency range than a single cone.
The neck is a standard 'C' shape, generally comfortable, but the 46.3 mm nut width might feel a bit wider than some modern guitars – try it before you buy.
A high-quality acoustic amplifier or a preamp with EQ is ideal to capture the full dynamic range and tonal nuances of the Tricone's unique sound.
