That giant guitar RR is playing? What type of bass was Danko playing? And what were Helm and Manuel playing?
If my thought-dreams could be seen, they'd probably put my head in a guillotine.
RR was on Gibson harp-guitar.
Danko was on electric upright bass.
Helm was on mandolin.
Manuel was on dobro.
is there such an animal as the Harp-Guitar or made just for the movie?
shareHarp guitars have been around for ages.

Robertson's was a Gibson Style U. Dated from about 1920, I believe.
Garth Hudson (how could I possibly have forgotten to mention his contributions?) was, of course, on pipe organ and synthesizers.
i saw them at my local musical instruments store, two in fact.
