Nice video. Thank you for sharing. :))

"Dobro" has become a brand name for the Gibson guitar company; which refers to a "resonating guitar" with a specific style of cone/web ("resonator") and the well-known round pierced metal on the front of the guitar body.

Chet Akins is playing a resonating guitar (manufactuer ?) on this video:

It's short for Dopera Brothers, who came from Slovakia and founded Dobro. I'm sure they realized the play on words.

Sounds like Cousin' Oswald playing some real dobro in there.

(Probably not, since we all learned those licks when we were startin' up.)
