  1. one of my favorite instruments and music. Mark Knophler uses one in a lot of his music, he has some great riffs in Romeo And Juliet, Brothers In Arms and Water Of Love, both using his picking style and slide work.

  2. My best buddy bought one at a local yard sale, he had a beautiful full color plate book on the brothers who first developed the Doboro, turns out it was number 3 they built and its whereabouts where unknown, my bud is a real stand up fellow, fairly well to do, he returned to the lady who sold it to him and gave her 12 large after he paid only $350 at the garage sale. Its a real beautiful piece if metal fabrication, just exquisite work. Ling time agi at a county fair met a guy who made fiddles in steel, gas welded the seams, had a great look and the unique sound they made was such many musicians bought them.

  3. I may be mistaken but I don't believe that is a dobro but a steel guitar. A dobro is played on the lap while fingerpicked using a steel slide to fret notes.
