I have a Regal RD-40 squareneck and would like to maybe upgrade the cone. Any recommendations that will just drop in without having to modify the opening? _________________ Carter D10 8p/8k, Dekley S10 3p/4k C6 setup,Regal RD40 Dobro, Recording King Professional Dobro, NV400, NV112,Ibanez Gio guitar, Epiphone SG Special (open D slide guitar) .

I’d call the guys at Beard. They’ve probably done as many set ups on various brands as anyone. They can tell you if the Beard cones fit. I believe the Scheerhorn cone is smaller by a few fractions. _________________ A banjo, like a pet monkey, seems like a good idea at first. |

Good idea, Brooks. I've also thought about calling Elderly. That's where I bought it. _________________ Carter D10 8p/8k, Dekley S10 3p/4k C6 setup,Regal RD40 Dobro, Recording King Professional Dobro, NV400, NV112,Ibanez Gio guitar, Epiphone SG Special (open D slide guitar) .

Quaterman used to make a 10 1/2 cone to fit imports, but I don't know if he's still doing them or if you can find one.
Most of the other high end cones I know of are 10 9/16. I've used a few of them by sanding them down to fit. |

Continental (European) makes a 10.5 inch cone as does Resplogle (US). You may have a Continental now; Elderly should know |
