Détails de l'instrument
The National ResoRocket Wood Body represents a sophisticated evolution of the single-cone resonator, successfully bridging the gap between metallic bite and acoustic warmth. While many purists gravitate toward brass or steel, the maple laminate construction here offers a distinct advantage: it rounds off the 'ice-pick' frequencies, providing a throaty, compressed midrange that sits beautifully in a mix. The 9.5-inch hand-spun cone retains that signature National bark, but with a woody sustain that feels more 'organic' than its metal siblings.
Ergonomically, the ResoRocket is a triumph. By combining a 12-fret neck-to-body joint with a deep cutaway, National provides the tonal depth of a larger air chamber alongside effortless access to the higher frets"a rare feat for resonators. The craftsmanship is predictably flawless, from the ivoroid binding to the rock-solid Rubner tuners. However, players seeking maximum raw volume for unamplified street performance might find the wood body slightly more polite than a steel Triolian. For the professional recording artist or the bluesman who values nuance over sheer volume, this is a masterclass in instrument design. It's a premium investment, but one that rewards the player with a lifetime of complex, harmonically rich textures.
