the dobro is an adaptation of the resonator guitar, with some unique features that give it its signature sound.

dobro  particular features：

1, Single, inverted cone design

2, 8-legged spider system

3, Round, perforated, metallic plate

4, Center-set bridge

How does the signature sound of the dobro work?

Well, the combination of these features results in a bright, metallic tone that’s instantly recognizable. The center-set bridge transmits the string vibrations, which then resonate through the perforations on the plate and the sound holes via the eight-legged spider system. The reverberation then occurs through the inverted cone design.
