Recording King RM-993 Left Handed
This Recording King RM-993, converted to a left handed model, puts traditional reso style into a small body design that packs a punch. True resonator tone begins with a classic nickel-plated bell brass body and RK’s own full-size hand-spun 9.5" cone. Thanks to the smaller body size and 24-¼” scale length, the Parlor Resonator has a slightly different voice than other metal body instruments. It has all the swampiness and mid range of a classic biscuit-style metal body, but the unique design adds a little more treble shimmer, giving it extra top-end clarity.
