The Korena take
Recording King’s RM-993 is a limited-run, six-string parlor resonator with a bell brass body, nickel finish and full-size hand-spun 9.5-inch cone. The compact parlor format and 24 1/4-inch scale distinguish its voice from other metal-body instruments, retaining the classic biscuit-style character described here while bringing added treble shimmer and top-end clarity. Details include a mahogany neck, rosewood fingerboard, open-gear tuners and a maple biscuit bridge.
