Playing Designed to Reveal the Voice of a Resonator
The Jim Dunlop DOP1656 Phosphor Bronze Resonator 16-56 strings are designed to give your resonator an authentic, powerful, and balanced sound. The phosphor bronze alloy provides natural warmth and harmonic richness that emphasize the snap of picking while maintaining depth in the low end. The result: an expressive timbre, perfect for nuances, clear attacks, and melodic parts that need to "speak."

They maintain exceptional tuning stability and withstand long sessions without compromise, whether you play in open tunings, rhythmic accompaniment, or lead. Their increased strength and durability make them a reliable choice for musicians seeking consistent performance, rehearsal after rehearsal.
