bienvenue à toi

Bienvenue parmi nous Samuel

welcome

Welcome to you, Samuel... and to Slovenja !

Thanks everybody. Where can i find any material in order to learn and study weissenborn? Where can i buy an affordable weissenborn as best quality/price? I've heard about koa but it is expensive.
I'm happy because i see a lot of passion in this forum!

I think you can go to "Les Instruments", then "Weissenborn".

It's a beginning...

Thanks OldChap, there is a lot to read and French is hard for me also with the translator. Tell me what kind of guitar do you have for example?
Sorry i am courious and i'm looking forward to have one in my hands.
Samuel

Well, I have... NO Weissenborn...

Dobro squareneck GoldTone (spider), Tricone squareneck metal Chattanooga from Busker guitars (B stock), roundneck metal MG 10 Johnson (biscuit) (eBay), roundneck wood Regal (spider) (eBay).

(That's enough... and TOO much for me, because for the moment I have some troubles with my hands, and play only a very little).

If (WHEN) I 'll play again, I dream of a teardrop. (Or a weiss).

Be careful, take your time, read, listen.
And then.... work...

You may see for DVD to learn, for example, a.s.o.

It's just my opinion: I a a beginer too...

Good luck.

hello man bienvenue

I want a weissenborn!!!!!
What kind of strings does it fit? Koa or not koa? I've heard that China produces excellent weissenborns, do you have a suggestion? Or is it Better to save money and to buy an American one?
I'm so poor in information.....I see the forum is very rich........

in the last year several forum members did sell their weiss (either to fund another acquisition or because they needed money). These have been real bargains - although no entry cheap chineese models. Maybe there is still one available.

Anyhow my advise is 'don't buy on impulse'. Start with a regular guitar converted and watch-out. Most posts are in French but you'll find friendly people who will translate.

Welcome dobro brother

Thanks for information, But what should i check in a weissenborn to be a good one? Is plywood good for this kind of instruments? I have heard about oil finish (my friend has an acoustic). Is synthetic lacquer better for the sound?
Is a brilliant guitar better than an opacque one as sound?
I have a lot of question, sorry....

Hi, is anybody to help me to find a weissenborn handmade?
I love the sound, but how much do i have to spend to buy a good one?
Thanks a lot
