I went by a local music dealer the other day, and thay had a beautiful Tut Taylor dobro there. Until then, I have never heard of that particular brand ( I have heard of Tut Taylor the player before though)
Has anyone played one of his instruments before? Do they play well? Any opinions?
Unfortunately, the store was busy and I did not see what the price was. I will call later and see.

For Christmas I received a Tut Taylor TTT Tennessean...It has a Pre-war Regal Body shape...Mahogany, ebony board...abalone inlay..and a wonderful warm,round rich tone...I tune C6 even for Dobro and it took a couple of days to setle in to the tuning and I have found some reso's just don't sound "right" in C6...I'm happy to report the Taylor is perfect for Hawaiian music...it has actually starting "breaking in" quicker than any instrument I have ever owned...it actually is becoming warmer as each day goes by...actually in about another couple of hours..(after my daughter goes to bed) I am going to have a recording test and put it up against all my other resos, even my Tri-cone...it sounds that good...I want to use it as my "main" guitar and if it passes sonicly after living w/ the recording for a couple of weeks...( I play the same song in unison on my 8 track w/ a bunch of guitars and pan back and forth and sideways!)...and I'm thinking I will be able to pre down the collection and just use the Taylor..It sounds taht good to me, I'll just get a different perspective on the recording(tape doesn't lie)...but...I love mine..it has exactly the tone I am looking for in a reso and I'm sure in G it would make a great bluegrass guitar...I give mine a 10 and it was a 2nd!!!!
