Premium metalen resonator met handgegraveerd Duits zilveren lichaam en Quarterman conus, met uitzondering toon en visuele kunstzinnigheid voor een fractie van Amerikaanse handgemaakte prijzen.
The Recording King RM-998-D is a serious contender for players seeking pre-war aesthetic and tonal complexity without the five-figure vintage price tag. The standout feature is the German silver (nickel-silver) body, which offers a sophisticated harmonic profile that sits perfectly between the aggressive bite of steel and the mellow warmth of brass. It produces a brilliant, bell-like chime and a punchy, 'honky' midrange that cuts through a mix with authority.
The hand-spun European cone is the heart of this machine, delivering impressive projection and a sensitive dynamic range that rewards nuanced fingerstyle as much as aggressive slide work. The hand-engraving is surprisingly detailed for a production model, giving it a boutique, heirloom feel. However, be prepared for the weight; like all metal-body resonators, it's a heavy instrument that demands a sturdy strap.
While the playability is generally excellent, the factory setup can lean slightly high"perfect for slide, but hybrid players might want a minor adjustment at the nut. Compared to a National, you're getting roughly 90% of the tone and vibe for a fraction of the cost. It's an ideal choice for the professional bluesman or the serious enthusiast who demands authentic Delta grit and parlor-style elegance in a reliable, modern build.
