Paul Beard open soundwell and hand-spun cone
These are the central resonator components shaping the instrument's amplified acoustic response.

Independent shopping perspective
Built for left-handed resonator players, the PBS-M/L combines solid mahogany throughout with a Paul Beard open soundwell, hand-spun cone, and spider-bridge design. That recipe brings woody warmth together with the bright, metallic voice associated with a squareneck resonator. The adjustable maple-and-ebony bridge lets you set string height and spacing, while the tobacco sunburst gloss finish, curly maple binding, snowflake inlays, and chrome hardware give it a traditional dressed-up look. A case is included for transport and storage.
