Chief31794 Posted October 1, 2013 Report Posted October 1, 2013 (edited) Not a common item, I make quite a few of these and other straps for Bluegrass Musicians. This one is for Frank Poindexter who has played on recordings for several country music stars. Thought some might be interested in what a dobro (or Resophonic Guitar) strap looks like, this is for a square neck style dobro and keeps the instrument positioned flat so that it can be played with thumb/finger picks while using a steel bar to make notes and chords (like a steel guitar just tuned differently).

Bob Bob, Thanks, and yes it is the instrument I'm playing in my avatar although there I was sitting down and had the dobro on my lap. Here is a picture of me playing one up close and standing, this is an older picture of an older dobro and the strap isn't one of mine, but it demonstrates really well how the instrument is played standing.
