Wanted reso mando soundhole screens

[Topher Gayle]

I'm making resonator mandolins. I have a potential customer who wants screens in round soundholes, like the 60's-70's Dobro models had. They're about 1" diameter screens. Beard doesn't seem to carry them and none of my usual lutherie sources do either. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

This fellow has chrome and gold ones but bigger than you need. Reso Screens

First Quality has them here; don't know if they're the size you want. Stew-Mac lists them here. Elderly lists them here.

Again, not sure about size. My '30's-'40's Dobro mandolin has screens that are 1 1/2 inches across (rims included), while my Regal Dobro guitar, approximately the same vintage, has screens 2 1/4 inches across. If the listed parts are for guitar repair, the screens may be the larger size and a bit disproportionate for a mandolin.

Screens off a dead SM58 might do the trick.

Loud, loud resonators
Will these screens sweeten me to sound like my kin
