The name Dobro is nowadays often used as a generic term for resonator guitars with wooden bodies, but it also refers to a company. Dobro was founded in the USA in the 1920s by the Slovak immigrant Dopyra family. Several family members worked as luthiers and decided to found their own guitar-making company. In the 1930s Dobro Guitars became part of the National String Instrument Company, which still today produces high-quality resonator guitars under the name National Resophonic. Dobro is now part of the Gibson group and focuses mainly on producing instruments in the affordable price range, giving beginners the opportunity to dive into the world of bluegrass music.
