What instruments are they playing on the last song?
That giant guitar RR is playing? What type of bass was Danko playing? And what were Helm and Manuel playing?
If my thought-dreams could be seen, they'd probably put my head in a guillotine.
RR was on Gibson harp-guitar.
Danko was on electric upright bass.
Helm was on mandolin.
Manuel was on dobro.
is there such an animal as the Harp-Guitar or made just for the movie?
shareHarp guitars have been around for ages.

Robertson's was a Gibson Style U. Dated from about 1920, I believe.
Garth Hudson (how could I possibly have forgotten to mention his contributions?) was, of course, on pipe organ and synthesizers.
i saw them at my local musical instruments store, two in fact.
