I've been considering a Resonator for use in my recordings for slide.

But I only have a minimal knowledge about them, mainly I'm considering a bottleneck since I can't play dobro (at all). The style of music will be old time rags and alot of "modern" slide work, not much in terms of delta blues or any blues at all

My questions are as follows...

What is the tonal difference if there is one, between a Tricone and a single cone? (or any other cone for that matter)

Does the body material make a huge difference in tone? (obviously metal is going to be super heavy)

Who are some of the major builders?

And lastly.. Who would you recommend I look at for purchasing?

thanks in advance
