As promised a few soundclips are made.
This one is in GBDGBD (open G), played bij Pieter. He helped me with a few techniques to start with.

After that I changed the seating of the piezo pickup. The saddle did not sit down firm. And the initial tone on the two first strings was a bit harsh.
Now it sounds warmer and WOW, it rings forever.

This one is in DADF#AD (open D), played by the clumsy me.

After a bit of fumbling I decide to keep this guitar for making noises on the couch.
Learning proper playing on dobro will take me to much time and effort. And there is sooo much to do.
