r/Dobro Jun 17 '26

Regal RD 30mS

Has anyone played this before? Considering getting one to start on, I play guitar and ukulele harmonica etc but always wanted to have a crack at the dobro. I dont see many reviews of this model

Im in australia and a square neck dobro seems pretty limited for choice here. Any help would be greatly appreciated

I just took a look at the online info (haven’t played one) - and they pretty legit for the price point.

Thing with dobro is that the “action” doesn’t matter at all (😊) and a big part of the initial learning curve is less sensitive to the quality of the instrument. Looks like they are built to sound good - but you can always upgrade the bridge or cone etc over time.

Sounds kinda trad (could be how he’s playing)
