Thanks Howard. No one can beat your herd.

I got this from Gary Goldsmith of Big Pineapple. Here's an MP3 of him playing it if any one is interested in hearing the sound of it. http://www.bigpineapplemusic.com/images/songs/chinatown.mp3

This is a great sounding dobro.

I play mine twice a week in our Praise and Worship group. having 8 strings gives me more options.

HEllo Howard. Hmmm. Looks like a good place to be.

Too bad it didn't sell. Maybe you should put it here on the forum. You might be surprised. Some people (including me) no longer buys inst. on fleabay. Mike Aldridge sell page is also a good place.

Just don't forget to send a donation to b0b...


Good luck!

Actually, at the last moment I had sellers remorse and I pulled the sale with 2 hours to go. There were about 10 people watching it so I figured people were waiting to the last minute to bid. In the end, I decided it was too nice to give up.

Hi Bill,

I listened to the tune "My China Town" and really liked the mellow tone of this Benoit Resophonic Guitar. The standard Dobro guitars sound too thin & metallic to me.
I can truly understand your having "Sellers Remorse".
