Here is the video of the Bobby Ingano Trio that was shot at `Olelo studio in Oahu. Superb steel playing, picture is clear and very good as well. Enjoy!

I was watching a video of Bobby playing Sleepwalk and at the end he was describing the guitar to the audience and I would swear he said 1945 - I didn't know there were any frying pans made at the end of WWII. I would think it's more like 1935 but a Rick authority I'm not.
Regardless, it sounds great. That is some phat tone. I don't have time right now to watch the whole 34 minute video, but is he playing it through just a little amp which might be a Roland Cube?

I thought frying pans where made up until the 60's.

| Mark, if the box by his foot is the amp it looks like a Yamaha THR 10 or 10c 0r a thr 5. I saw a clip of Robert Randolph playing thru one and talking a little about it. |

Thanks for the Frying Pan history.
It doesn't look like one of those little Yamaha amps, the ones I have seen have hard metal chrome handles and appear to be longer than what Bobby has here.
His looks pretty small and has what looks to be a flexible strap. Hard to tell since the video is dark, but it reminds me of something more along the lines of this one:
I have seen in the past some little black Yamaha amps but it seems to me they might have a flexible strap, but one that doesn't rise up high and span the length of the unit, more like it is low and several inches long in the middle.
Regardless, Bobby is keeping the rig simple - the six strings of a vintage Frying Pan and dinky amp, and he sounds great.

His amp looks identical to my Roland Micro. Just proves that tone is all in the hands.

Mahalo Nui Loa! The best 34 minutes 49 seconds I've ever spent
Ron
PS: I counted seven strings on Bobby's frypan. |

As Ed McMahon used to say to Johnny, "you are correct, sir!"
I went back to the video and I was having a hard time counting the actual strings - not real clear, but when the camera showed the headstock I saw four tuning machines on the treble side.

| His tone and touch is so sweet always. He plays 7-string Rick with Roland Mobile Cube amp. He prefers this model over Micro Cube recently. He said Micro Cube is too boomy. |

Roland Mobile Cube, battery powered, 179 bucks!
Really makes you wonder sometimes about the "necessity" of paying $2000+ for a "boutique" amp.
On the other hand, if Bobby can sound this good on a portable $179 amp, I wonder what he would sound like with a $2000 rig?

Absolutely top stuff! And on the amp choice, it just goes to show we are have become too used to the idea that music needs large 1960s size units.
I have a Roland Street which is similar. Its canted back about twenty degrees which helps the player here it as well as directing the sound at the audience. It has great tone.

For some reason, the Mobile Cube sounds extremely sweet... I prefer the tone to my Cube 40XL. It has a nice 3/8" thread on the bottom, I often use mine with my Manfrotto monopod/tripod. You can't get delay and reverb at the same time... but that doesn't seem to be a problem, the tone is so good that you don't notice... and the reverb is stereo, which is nice. I'm crazy about mine... and with six AA's, you're ready to busk on the beach! It takes the 1 amp Roland adapter too.

When I saw him playing at the library he played a 7 string bakelit, though the same amp, and he sounded just like him : ) , I was surprised.
The tone is in the hands, that is especially true with steel guitar.

Yeah, I don't think anyone on this forum whom has been playing for awhile doesn't have the old classic phrase "the tone is in the hands" committed to memory, but there must be a reason why the likes of David Lindley and Ben Harper have been known to play lap steels into Dumble amps! 
Obviously one answer is "because they could afford them." I figured I would post that to get it out of the way before someone else does.

Bobby's Rick frypans were modified by me, into 7-string types from 6-string. I did three for him, and I believe he has two yet, one long & one short scale.
All were post-war instruments. with the bakelite cover on the bottom. |

Bill, you might want to remind Bobby what years his instruments were made!

Bobby's a musician, not an historian or collector.
