Resonator Guitar: Banjo-like Preliminary Plan

Abstract

A banjo-shaped instrument was assembled using a resonator guitar cone as its soundboard. The purpose is to isolate and study the sound coming off the cone top (or front). In a proper resonator guitar, the sound off the cone bottom (or back) fills the body and radiates off the body top and from the sound holes.
