what the difference between a dobro and a steel guitar
Location: Coulee country, WI. dobros or resonators have a cone inside that amplifies the sound. a very distinctive instrument. however, it cannot be played like a pedal steel. and there a vast differences between those instruments. that said, the steel slide is the common denominator between the two. so slide techniques can overlap. with dobro it is hard to get the bent string sound (with a square neck resonator like mine).
