Black Walnut, and others who have named instruments:If you love the dobro (insert your instrument here) so much, why don't you play one?
I don't mean this to be a snarky question. I just think that your love for a certain instrument strongly suggests that it's one that your muse wants you to play.
I like bagpipes...other people's bagpipes, that is. But if they spoke to me as deeply as the fiddle or guitar did, I would find a way to learn them.
