I'm looking at this Johnson metal body resonator on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/Johnson-metal-body-resonator-ukulele-uke-ukelele-w-case_W0QQitemZ220411428346QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item33518b7dfa&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1205|66%3A2|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1318|301%3A1|293%3A1|294%3A50
I've read around on the forums a little bit and it seems it has the resonator "bark" but isn't as much louder as the better resonators. My Question is: would I be able to make it louder just by putting in a nicer cone? Or is the loudness based more on the rest of the body?
I know I probably won't get someone who knows how to answer this before the auction ends in 7 hours, and if the price doesn't go up too much I'll bid on it regardless, but hopefully someone who has dealt with the issue happens to see this in time.
Thanks.
