Hi everybody. New to this forum. Hope you're all fine & dandy. Just trying to find out some info on a Bluesman all steel/brass nickel plated resonator made in the late 70s, early 80s (?) that I have. I believe it was made in Italy or Malta. It's not from bluesman vintage in Tennessee. Already checked that. It looks very much like a National duolian from the early 30s. It's well made, solid, plays very nice, lovely neck (round) etc. Sounds pretty much what any metal bodied resonator sounds like. Plenty of volume quite heavy. I've had it for 20 yrs & the bloke I got it off had owned it for 10 or more years prior to that. It's in excellent condition. I've never seen or even heard of another one. Does anyone know anything about these things?. I haven't been able to find any info on it at all. I know it's not a National or anything but I get a great sound out of it anyway & enjoy playing it. I don't know a great deal about resonators, I own 3, but I've got 37 other guitars so I recognise that this thing is no cheap nasty toy. It plays very well. Has anyone had anything to do with them? Or any info about them?. Any input would be much appreciated. Cheers. From Australia.
