The RR-36-BK is a fantastic entry point into the resonator world, particularly for bluegrass and roots players. That SpiderCone delivers a really unique, almost 'breathing' sound that’s a step up from the standard biscuit-bridge. It’s well-built for the price and a whole lot of fun to play.

Frequently Asked Questions
The SpiderCone offers a more complex and nuanced tone – less aggressive than a traditional cone, with a more 'woody' and vintage character.
While primarily geared towards bluegrass, the warm mahogany tone and responsive resonator can be adapted for blues and roots music with appropriate playing style and possibly a pickup.
Padauk is harder than rosewood, providing a smoother, faster feel. It also contributes a subtle brightness to the overall tone, complementing the mahogany body.
