resonatorpar

Resonatorpar is a type of musical instrument that combines elements of both the resonator guitar and the paraguitar. It was developed in the late 20th century as an attempt to create a more versatile and portable instrument that could produce both the warm, resonant tones of a resonator guitar and the amplified, distorted sounds of a paraguitar. The resonatorpar typically features a solid body, a resonator cone, and a pickup system that allows for both acoustic and amplified playback.

The resonatorpar is played using a plectrum, similar to a paraguitar, and can produce a wide range of tones, from soft and mellow to loud and distorted. The instrument is often used in genres such as blues, rock, and country, and has been popularized by musicians such as John Fahey and John Renbourn. Despite its potential, the resonatorpar has not gained widespread popularity and remains a niche instrument among musicians and collectors.
