I am really getting into a lot of Southen styles of music. Not really country, not really blues, and not really blue grass... but I am wanting to expand my musical horizon as far as stringed instruments are concerned and so I have decided to get a Dobro and try to learn to play some slide. Now before I do off and just buy one I want to know what the real reason is for having a square necked Dobro instead of a traditional rounded neck?
If the square necked one is for laying flat in your lap, then why wouldn't you just get a round necked dobro and just... well... lay it flat in your lap? Who cares if the back of the neck is round or square? I think that trying to play a dobro with a square neck would be incredibly akward.
Any comments?
