| | Dobro - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The dobro was also used in older country music, notably by "Brother Oswald" of Roy Acuff's band, but has been largely supplanted by the pedal steel guitar. | | | The dobro was introduced to bluegrass music by Josh Graves, who played with Flatt and Scruggs, in the mid-1950s. | | | The dobro is also significant to the world of blues music, particularly the Southern style of country blues that grew out of the Mississippi Delta and Louisiana. |

| | Straight.com Vancouver Folk Fest Dobro didnât take long to drive Cox crazy |
| | The Dobro is a curious-looking beast: an acoustic guitar with a large, mechanically resonated speaker cone in its belly, which gives the instrument a loud, metallic resonance. | | | The Dobro was created in the era before amplified music, as part of the search for a guitar that would not be drowned out by the trumpets, saxophones, and banjos that dominated the band scene in the 1920s. | | | And Cox was recently at the Sore Fingers guitar camp in England, where he taught lap-style techniques for the Dobro and his other main instrument, the Weissenborn guitar, which is used in Hawaiian music. |

| | BLUEGRASS: Bluegrass Article: Dobro Article Part 2 |
| | In most dobros, the resonator rests on and is suspended from a a solid wooden ring (usually made of maple) termed the soundwell which is attached both to the back and top of the instrument. | | | Because the dobro, along with the guitar, is one of the quietest of the bluegrass instruments, it needs much more boosting by the sound system than louder instruments like the banjo. | | | Due largely to the influence of Josh Graves, the bluegrass dobro is often picked with a three-finger forward roll. |

| | Although not as cosmic as the solo guitar odysseys of John Fahey or Robbie Basho, the early-'70s recordings of this veteran dobro picker have an equal importance to the development of acoustic-stringed music in America. | | | As the album proceeds the instrumentalists keep digging deeper and deeper, splashing musical imagery in a competition that suggests a group of crack photographers trying to outdo each other at a slide show. | | | The latter state is how some listeners might feel if forced to sit through the entire "House of the Rising Sun," the final selection and one of a only a few misfires in the program. |

| | Flat top guitars: Similar to the Classical guitar, but with a narrower, reinforced neck and stronger structural design, to sustain the extra tension of steel strings which produce a louder and brighter tone, the acoustic guitar is a staple in folk, traditional and blues music. | | | Resonator, resophonic or dobro guitars: Similar to the flat top guitar, but with a metal resonator mounted in the middle of the top rather than an open sound hole. | | | The purpose of the resonator is to amplify the sound of the guitar; this purpose has been largely superseded by electrical amplification, but the resonator is still played by those desiring its distinctive sound. |
