5 Dobro is a trade name now owned by Gibson Guitar Corporation and used for
a particular design of resonator guitar, often called a Hawiian Guitar. The
name, Dobro, was coined by the Dopyera brothers when they formed the Dobro
Manufacturing Company in 1928. In time Dobro came to mean any resonator
guitar, or specifically one with a single inverted resonator.
