Pogreba Baritone Weissenborn
My weissenborn playing received a huge boost recently when I took possession of a Larry Pogreba Baritone Weissenborn. Larry lives way off the grid in Montana and makes amazing instruments. Built using some mahagony that was blown down during a hurricane in 1999. The faceplate is burl rosewood. Fret markers are coins from Belize. It is VERY obvious that this box was made by hand. A bit rustic... BUT This axe just sings and growls. so much fun. Such great tone. Stringy, growly, angelic - and awesome through the Baggs M1A pickup. I am totally mesmerized with lap steel playing. I haven't played a Spanish style guitar in weeks.

As I am a working stiff, I will have to carve out some time to set up a microphone. I'm more of a soundcloud (vs. video) kinda guy... but I promise to do it this weekend. Also will work up some more pics to give an idea of what the baritone looks like - much deeper!

Mark, I'm really looking forward to hearing both the instrument and your playing. As you may recall from other threads, arthritis has us both in the same or similar water craft...

There are plenty of pretty good inexpensive 'weissenborn' style instruments (Gold Tone, Superior, Rustic Root in Canada) for just a few hundred bucks. You don't have to spend 2-3 thou for one that will service you... but those are nice. If you want to know more about them, visit the resohangout.com - a forum for resonator fans. There is a Weissenborn Players forum. You can learn a lot about them. There is even a guy that does online lessons (Troy) ME
