Royall TMP12/NI Tampa Tricone Resonator 12-Fret – Bell Brass, Nickel Finish, Tricone, Softcase

The Royall TMP12/NI Tampa is a 12-fret resonator guitar with a bell-brass body and classic tricone construction. This guitar features three hand-spun 6” aluminum cones and an aluminum T-bridge, resulting in a rich, complex tone with plenty of sustain. Compared to single-cone models, the sound is less direct and less loud, but much deeper and more layered—perfect for those seeking character and nuance in their tone.

The polished nickel finish and art deco design make this resonator a real eye-catcher. The satin-finish mahogany neck and 46mm nut width provide a comfortable playing experience, both fingerboard and slide. All Royall resonators are built and tuned in the workshop by guitarists themselves, using top-quality, hand-spun resonator cones. The Tampa comes with a lightweight soft case for safe transport.
