Big Bo on a Weissenborn
Big Bo promo video for his new Weissenborn guitar, made by Hermann Guitars in Italy. This Weissenborn was made exactly like the Hawaiian Weissenborn guitars in the 20’s, using solid Hawaiian Koa tonewoods, and original animal glue. The guitar was finished with traditional shellac finish.
Ermanno Pasqualato is a craftsman by nature and a truly wonderful luthier. I purchased this guitar second hand but I am so happy to come across this wonderful instrument.
Dutch bluesman Bo Brocken (stage name: Big Bo) plays his Blues from the heart and soul. He has been around for quite a while now, touring Europe and the world for almost 30 years, playing his traditional style Blues. Performing as a one-man-band, using a full foot-operated drum set, acoustic and electric guitars, resonator guitars, Cigar Box Guitars and harmonica, he plays traditional blues in Delta, Piedmont, Misissippi Hills and Ragtime style.
