Harmonium Hero	Lap-slide - Celtic? (10)	RE: Lap-slide - Celtic?	26 Dec 12
In the interests of accuracy, what Jerry Douglas is playing in the clip above is not a Dobro, as some of the comments on Youtube see to assume. it's a Weissenborn. This form of Hawaiian/lap steel guitar predates Nationals and Dobros. Its inventor, Herman Weissenborn, died in 1937. You can get modern copies of these instruments. Luvvem! JK
