Duane Allman’s Posthumous Career Retrospective – By Harvey Kubernik c. He used a glass Coricidin bottle as a slide for his playing. Duane was a natural slide player and learned to play real fast. Both Bernie and I were Dobro players and we all ended up sitting around with him taking turns and talking about tunings and technique. He had gotten it at Manny’s Music, as I recall, and he was bursting with enthusiasm. It was Duane Allman and he had just gotten his first National resonator guitar and he had to show it to us. One day I got an exciting call on the phone. While spending a few months in the New York area, we were living at the Chelsea Hotel on 22nd street. While in Linda’s band I usually roomed with Bernie Leadon. (Chris Darrow:) Duane and I kept in touch over time and after I had left the Dirt Band I began to tour with Linda Ronstadt, John Stewart, and Hoyt Axton. Duane bought his first National resonator guitar and contacted Chris Darrow and Bernie Leadon.

Also in NYC were Linda Ronstadt and the Corvettes (the Corvettes was her backing band at the time) participating in the “Music From Free Creek” project.
In August of 1969 ABB was in New York City doing some concerts at Ungano’s and recording their first album. īased on Chris Darrow’s recollection, it is possible to track down when exactly Duane purchased first of the two guitars. He later gave one of them to Eric Clapton and the other one to Ronnie Wood.
The 32.50 Duolians was the least expensive resonator National guitar offered in the 1930s, built with a thin-gauge steel body and minimal appointments.
