Who are we? We are a loosely knit group of individuals drawn together out of love or fascination of the dobro, or resonator guitar. Invented and developed in the late 1920's and early 30's, the Dopyera brothers presented America and the world with a totally unique instrument centered around a mechanical resonating sound or amplification system. The brothers tossed around the question of what to call this new class of stringed instruments and finally coined the term 'Dobro' which was a combination of the words Dopyera and Brothers. "Resonator Guitar" is more commonly used now for non-Gibson/Dobro branded guitars. ResoGat is the gathering of Dobro/Resonator guitar enthusiasts to talk, play music, laugh, meet old friends and make new friends.
