Hi, two things happened to me last week (yeah - exciting life). I was playing at a folk club (big deal) and met another dobro player - who didn't currently...
It wouldn't surprise me. Gibson lost interest in dobros a few years ago and they've now dropped nearly all of them from their range. It's no great loss - most...
Dobro Dobros are made by Gibson and are really not that good and expensive to boot. ... From: ResoUK@yahoogroups.com [mailto:ResoUK@yahoogroups.com]On Behalf...
That fits with what I've heard. I think they only do the Phil Leadbetter model these days. According to folks on the Resonation it's not bad when set up...

If you want a good reso for decent price, look for a Gold Tone Paul Beard Signature, or a Wechter Scheerhorn (the new Rob Ickes model is supposed to be good)....
Hi there, I am new to this, so please pardon any potential faux paux that may occur with you all! I am a musician interning for a really good site called...
Hi Sally, good to hear from you on this site. That download site looks great....any free passes?? I guess that would kind of defeat the purpose though!!! In...
I know I'm biased because she is a great pal, but Sally is by far and away the best teacher I ever had. She teaches music on the dobro is best way I can think...
Ha! I can't wait until Sore Fingers. It'll be my first time in 2008. And who better to have than Sally Van Meter? What happened to you Lennie? Liam ... -- The...

I've got a rosewood/spruce Scheerhorn and a mahogany Holoubek. You'll have a blast at Sore Fingers....
A 'Horn and Holoubek? Awesome. ... -- The opposite of a correct statement is a false statement. But the opposite of a profound truth may well be another...

I occasionally try and sell the Holoubek in a half-hearted sort of way, but it's actually a really nice guitar, and dare I say it, does some stuff that the...
Will you have both with you? It'd be cool if you'd give me a chance to compare them. Who knows maybe I might like ti buy the Holoubek... ... -- The opposite of...

Hi team before I put this on the market I thought I'd run it past you guys: Having persevered with a Dobro for 8 years (and loved it, by the way) I realise...

Thanks Dave yes, I had a real dilema when it was announced that both Keith Little and Sally were going to be there next year. Over my 5 visits to SF they were...

How many of the members here are Hawaiian Stylists, or even care about this instrument's roots ? There IS a LOT more to the origins of the reso than just...
Hello Basil, thank you for the pdf-files you posted. I am enjoying them very much! Apart from my work with singer/songwriters and more pop-oriented bands I...
Hi Basil Although I started off wanting to play the dobro, and indeed my current acoustic is the National Model D, I now consider myself a hawaiian guitarist ...

Hey guys, I play Hawaiian style on my dobro, in low bass G. For the authentic Hawaiian sound, you don't need a sixth chord!! If it's the sound you like, do it....

Liam, I know you're not "Having a Dig" so I'll rise to the bait so to speak. The style of ANY player not using a sixth is at the best OLD Hawaiian (Self...
For western swing I do use sixth tunings, and I have no problem using it for later Hawaiian music. However the old style is what I enjoy. The sixth sound is...

You know I play old Hawaiian and swing ala Django and I would never use the standard low G. I always use Low G6. The 4th string being tuned to E. I improvise a...
... The chords you've mentioned can all be found on the neck in G tuning, when you use slants.....but you're right, it's a lot easier in G6 tuning. I thought...
My high d-string has started popping out when i play hard, the slot has chipped away a bit. So i've ordered some new inserts from Beard Guitars, but in the...
Lennie Go right ahead and do it with the file, but do the next two strings as well so you don't have a step. Don't overdo it - just enough to prevent the...
