HOBO Tenor – 4-String Wood Body Single Cone Resonator Guitar

The ROYALL HOBO Tenor is a 4-string tenor wood body single-cone resonator guitar with a natural flame-maple body. Built around a 9.5-inch hand-spun aluminum cone and biscuit-bridge resonator system, it brings resonator projection and attack to a tenor-format instrument.

Sound & Character

The single-cone system provides a direct, articulate response, while the flame-maple wood body contributes its own acoustic character. The 4-string tenor format gives the instrument a different tuning and playing approach from a standard 6-string resonator guitar.
