Hey thanks for the comment on my resonator. The cone is spun aluminum made by continental. It's meant for a uke.... You might check with the Godfather (Chickbone John) it seems to me he is in the parts business as well.... He should be able to hook you up... It looks like a reso is well within your reach. They are very cool instruments... Take care...Jim
