Relax Blues Jipes and his Duolian

[Jipes]

Hello Fretters a small clip of my Old Duolian that I just bought three weeks ago. This tune is inspired by the great Mississipi Fred Mc Dowell

Enjoy and tell me what you think of it

Thanks Helliott this is a National Duolian resonator guitar it's an old lady from 1932 and it's a biscuit system as opposite of the Spider from the late Dobro guitars.

the main difference is that the cone is upside down in the Dobro compared to the National biscuit type

Tot ou Tard thanks a lot They are also very nice for fingerpicking but you have to deal with the high action

I wish you a good time Kenny Neal is a great player and I love his beat up Telecaster

I finally got around to listening and that's really nice, Jipes! There's something special about the sound of a resonator. I really enjoyed it.

Thoses resonators guitar really have a "soul" and believe it or not but all have a different and unique "voice" . I try another National guitar in RF Charles Vintage used Shop (BTW a great adress for old acoustics: Martin, Gibson, National...). It was a Triolian with a bakelite neck but the sound was closer to a Banjo really amazing if you consider that both the body and the resonator are exactly build up the same way :thwap:

If you want to discover more about those amazing instruments check out the Chris Whitley records specially Dirt Floor its' really inspiring music and he used mainly Resonator guitars

 

[Jipes]

Great stuff!

Thanks a lot :AOK:
