Review:
"These lessons are set up so that anyone studying at home can play a couple of choruses on their own. (Cindy) does a fine job, and Homespun should seriouslyconsider not only having her do an advanced Dobro video, but also a much-needed course in the Western swing lap steel she plays with Asleep At The Wheel." - Country Music Magazine
Student Review:
"I recently bought a Dobro from First Quality and also the Cindy Cashdollar video "Learning Bluegrass Dobro" to go with it. That tape actually stunned me with its presentation, it's unbelievably good." -Lee Petri
"I just wanted to tell you how much I've enjoyed Cindy's Dobro series. I've still got a lot to work on but I just feel that she has given me a light years head start. Her approach and patience just felt so personal. I took up the Dobro not knowing a thing and without her help I'd still be wondering why that thing had a big hubcap on it." - Don Shriner
