As the lucky owner of two Beards - an R and an E - I would definitely go with the Beard. As Rick said unlike guitars and mandos etc vintage dobros are not that...
Everything that's been said so far is true, kind of. It all depends on what you want to play. If you want to sound like Bashful Brother Oswald than you can't...
Thanks everybody for getting back to me so quickly. This forum seems to be really useful. I was moving towards the modern guitar anyway, but its really good to...
I've got a mahogany Holoubek that I am thinking about selling. It was made by Ondrej and is his professional model, it's had a set up by Tim Scheerhorn ( who...
I want to buy a resonator guitar. I don't want to spend a fortune (say up to $400) because I may not get into this style of playing but I don't want a crap...
It really depends on what sort of music you want to play. In my view a wooden instrument is more versatile. The tone of metal-bodied guitar will give you a...
Lennie, Thanks so much. I originally wanted a National type but I'm now leaning towards a Dobro. I play blues but I also like folk, country & bluegrass so I ...
Hi. I have a Beard R model which has sounded beautiful since I bought it...until recently. My D string (1st) produces a buzz, particularly noticeable if you ...
Hi Nathan I suggest you e mail Chet Hogue at Beard and tell him your problem (you'll get his email address on the Beard website). He is very helpful. If you...
When did you last change the string .. did you notice the Buzz AFTER changing the string ? Basil www.waikiki-islanders.com ... [Non-text portions of this...
... ===>I can point you to some common areas to look at. 1. The spider may have rotated slightly. You can detune the guitar a bit , rotating the spider...
Hi Nathon, sorry to hear about your buzz. All the advice so far is good stuff to try out. I'd make sure i'd eliminated all the easy stuff before taking the...
I have just had an e mail from Jimmy Heffernan who told me he will probably be in London this Autumn and if he got enough interest he would do a workshop. I...
I would highly recommend attending such a workshop if it becomes available. Jimmy Heffernan does an excellent job! http://www.jimheffernan.com for more...
Depending on where he holds the workshop I would be interested. Bill W ... ___________________________________________________________ Tiscali Broadband from...
That's right Colin. I will be organising a workshop in glasgow while he is here. Probably September but nothing is certain at this stage. Please let me know...
Hi there, Captain Wirtzy bothering you with non slide worthy news! This is to announce that we have booked the Nashville Bluegrass band to headline at...
I don't know if you guys in the mainland can get BBC2 N Ireland (I think it is available on Satellite) but if you can Janet does two tunes on the 'Blackstaff...
I know that this has been debated before... but still I have many doubts on the subject, so... there ya go! How do different types of pickup/transducers...
IMHO everything sounds rubbish. A microphone is the only way to go. To avoid feeback problems just a cheap dynamic vocal mic like an SM57 will do. Condensor...
... Lennie, I hoped not to read such a reply... :-( I am sure that a reso guitar will sound better through a mic than through any p.u., yet I'm trying to...
I think I agree pretty much with Lennie here. I in fact use a pick up but I don't reckon any of them really get the sound. The only problem with a mic is feed...
If you look at what jerry does.....he does both. He's got at least one onboard device perhaps two and he also plays to a microphone. That was the case when I...
Carlo, I'm fairly sure i've got the model number wrong. Its not a clip on it's a standard shape a bit thinner than most. I went to a website it's an ATM33A...
there are good reports from USA about a swiss product pick up called a Schatler Basik. Sheerhorn is now installing them. Check posts on reso-nation dot org or...
I have a Schattern fitted in my vintage AMG1 single-cone steel reso and it's a very nice-sounding pickup - very natural. The great thing about it is ...
I too agree with Lennie, although I prefer condenser mics as they give more output and hence more headroom when mixing. Also if you use phantom power they give...
