This instrument represents classical solid maple Dobro according to C.11 Model. It differs from the previous models (Z.3) by the body shape which is longer, by the inner construction and the neck size. As for the construction it is a Soundpost/baffle which is typical for my instruments. To specify it more closely, the sound post inside the instrument transmits the vibration between the top plate and the back and also helps support the body /the similar process being used on a violin/. As Dobro is totally constructed of maple wood, its medium and high tones are very strong. It is at the expense of the low pitch tones which are a little weaker. This feature of maple wood can be compensated by the depth of the body and the construction of the back. Inside the instrument under the holes there is a rigid folio (durofol) serving as the so called subwoofer amplifying the low frequencies. Then the total sound of the instrument is balanced, though the sound volume of the basses is still lower than with the instruments made of palisander. The "A" quality material is used for the construction of such instrument. It takes between 3 to 4 months to be constructed.
