Thanks to those that answered my question on bridge inserts. More punch
(volume) especially on the 6th 5th and 4 strings, is what I'm looking for.
Janet Davis has the ebony topped two piece inserts, ala banjo bridge, in
stock. I really would love to find a set with bone insets also.
So now to my next question. There does not appear to be a whole lot of
room between the bridge cover and the top of the inserts. Is disassembly
required for the bridge replacement? Strings removed or shoved aside yes,
but unscrew and remove the resonator cover too? http://www.frets.com/ has
a really crackerjack online maintenance manual for the 5 string banjo. Is
there any such comparable resource out there for the dobro?
Thanks
