Unexpected side-effect of playing a resonator
My arm and chest muscles have become firmer! The 2 Gretschs are quite heavy and picking them up several times each day is making me fitter!I'm enjoying playing them too.
A good resource for getting ideas is Daddy Stovepipe's YT page https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtX...Wy24DilJNTT-Uw I've read on the web that he doesn't gig or record CDs, but he's a pretty good player with an excellent range of styles and interesting guitars.

Yeah, they weigh a ton. Toby Walker stands while playing his in his shows. I put a strap button in the heel of the neck of mine and wear a strap, seated.

My Nationals weigh less than a really heavy Les Paul.

I actually tore up my shoulder pretty darn good practicing with my ResoRocket a little too much. Hours a day with that on a strap was not one of my smarter ideas. Wound up selling it & getting a Collegian, which I adore -- and which I always play sitting down, although it's very light for a steel bodied guitar. Wood resos, though, work just fine for me with straps.
