Hermann Weißenborn (* 1865, probably in Holzland, Thuringia, Germany; † Januar 1937 in Los Angeles) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.157.55.140 (talk) 23:48, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

An instrument that can't be played?

From the introductory paragraph:

"Weissenborn or H. Weissenborn is a brand of lap slide guitar..."

"The signature feature of Weissenborn guitars is the hollow neck, effectively a highly adapted body chamber that runs the entire length of the body, making conventional playing completely impossible.

[emphasis added]

"Conventional playing" for a lap slide guitar involves laying the instrument on one's lap, applying a steel to the strings over the neck, and plucking the strings with the other hand. The Weissenborn hollow neck in no way makes this "impossible"; in fact, it facilitates it. The article also includes an illustration of a person playing a Weissenborn guitar in precisely this conventional manner.

This confusion needs to be cleared up. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.95.43.249 (talk) 21:01, 7 March 2016 (UTC)
