Pretty cool, though.

… Django Reinhardt perfectly. Wonderful!

The guitar is stunning. The history is intriguing. The musician is delightful. So playful. All just cool as cool can be.

Thanks for ending my day with this.

Thanks for posting.

. . .generically known in some quarters as a Dobro, except that a Dobro is usually played lap steel guitar style.

I have a friend who regularly plays this instrument.

...get the square neck models.
I saw one at a pawn shop in the town where I grew up. It sounded fantastic but it was square neck, and I don't play slide that way.
The square neck is extremely uncomfortable to play like a regular guitar.
I was bummed, because it was very cheap & sounded so good. But, I'd never play it so I had to pass.

Mark Knopfler is a magical, musical, genius !!!

They're all louder than a normal acoustic but one of the two I played the other day was amazingly loud.
I tend to like the sound of the biscuit resonators, but the tri-cone design does really make them project.
This guy mentions them being louder. He isn't lying!
