Homemade Dobros

"It don't mean a thang, if it ain't got that clang!!!"We're discussing homemade dobro ideas. From dog bowls to paint can lids and whatever else you can dream up...we wanna see it! What do you use on your cigar box guitars to get that metal sound? Do you have a technique that projects sound like a dobro? Let's hear it! See More

Went to Duluth, used GPS to find the place. But somehow wrong street name was entered. I ended up at a private residence that I thought was someone selling crafts out of house. knocked on door and stepped in…then realized I made mistake and was standing in a living room. Hurried back to car, this guy comes out in a bathrobe wondering what was going on. Think Dave would have got a laugh out of that
