Norm Hamlet's Dobro Stolen - Reward Offered
In Tyler, TX on the 28th of April, Norm Hamlet's Dobro was stolen. This dobro guitar is a very rare and unique instrument that has been used on many hit records and many great shows. This guitar is very sentimental to Norm and this action has upset him and we would really like to get the Dobro returned. It is in a large black guitar case and was last seen on the edge of the stage in Tyler TX. A reward of $250 will be offered to enyone with information that leads to the return of the dobro. Please post information to the contact information on this website.

Gibson has wrecked the name again with the Dobro. While the boys in Montania were building the mandolin they did a good but Gibson said you cant do that so they bought them out and promply the qulity droppped. It is no secret how to build a good dobro. The secret is in the top and the ledge the cone sets on. Any one intrested email me.

There is no secret on how to build a good reso. It is in the ledge the cone sets on and the guitar top. Any one interested email me at robro2@eoni.com
