Replogle Reso REP-D15A Classic Spider Resonator Cone – 10 9/16″

The Replogle Reso “Classic 10 1/2” Series spider-style cone is hand-spun in California to exacting specifications and high tolerances using a special hardened aluminum alloy for maximum strength, tone, projection and sustain in spider-style resonator guitars. This is the “Original Equipment” (OEM) replacement cone for Dobros manufactured since the late 1960’s and is the same cone used since the mid-1990’s in USA-made Dobro-brand guitars produced by the Original Musical Instrument Company (OMI) and the Original Acoustic Instrument (OAI) companies under Gibson Guitar. Until recently Replogle cones have only been available directly to custom builders and manufacturers- they have been used by OMI, OAI, Gibson, Scheerhorn, Crafters of Tennessee, Beard, Owens, Wechter, Weber, and Regal (Saga Music) among others. Now, these (OEM) cones are available directly to individual players and builders around the world. The History. Mike Replogle learned the art of hand-spinning resonators directly from “the Old Man”, an old-school metal spinner that immigrated to the US and was the spinner-behind-the-scenes for nearly every resonator since the 1960’s. Replogle studied, practiced, and perfected his hand-spinning technique under the direct tutelage of the Old Man in his retirement, preserving the legacy of the authentic Dobro cones for future generations.
