Dobro

The Dobro is a type of resonator guitar known for its distinctive metallic sound, created by a metal resonator cone inside the body that amplifies the vibrations of the string. Originally developed in the 1920s, it is commonly used in blues, country, and bluegrass music to produce a bright, ringing tone. Played with a slide or fingerpicks, the Dobro's design emphasizes a soulful, expressive sound that adds unique character to performances. It combines traditional guitar elements with a metal resonator system, making it stand out both visually and sonically among acoustic instruments.
