Both open G, glass bottleneck and flesh and nails

The tricone is somewhere in between - more sustain than the biscuit but not as much as the spider, medium attack. The wood kills some of the metallic clankyness that you often hear in tricones giving it a sweeter more singing sound. It is amazingly loud when you dig in, yet almost acoustic sounding when played lightly. I'll get around to recording it one of these days.

I'll second Aaron's comments about fretboards - if you are going to play mostly slide seriously consider the widest flattest board you can get - the Duolian is 16 inch radius and I'm constantly fretting out. The tricone is 20 inch with a 1-3/4 nut, the 27 is near dead flat and 1-7/8. Ditto cones and setups - I've got NRP cones in the biscuit and tricone and a Quarterman in the 27 - all worth the additional price.

They're a lovely trio!!!
