Thanks, Tony. I appreciate the info!

The amount of mechanical noise a steel makes is related to the make and model. Some are rattle-traps. Some less so. Some far less so.

There are things one can do to help. As mentioned, lubricatio ...

Got an SKH with 4-hole cranks. Any concerns about those 4-holes vs the later version? Breakage? Some say the 14-holers allow more accurate timing of multiple raises. I can see that reasoning but is ...

Sorry, I know the pics show 2 legs but I just wanted to be sure. That is, are you selling 2 legs or a full set of 4?

I have an old chrome narrow-mount Bill Lawrence 705 pickup. But I need it to be a wide-mount. Can I just unscrew the 2 plate screws, remove the narrow-mount vinyl plate and then put a larger plate o ...

I picked up a beat, but original Deluxe 6. No legs, though. Where can I get 3 legs that’ll fit?

Thanx.

It might not completely eliminate the C6th 10th string ‘s drop & return problem but it might make it better than it currently is. That is, try and keep the angle the 10th breaks off the roller ...

Actually, I do have a few of them accumulated off the p/p’s I’ve had over decades. But we recently moved down to FL and those are still in storage up north with my other steel parts. I intend to ...

Just to clarify…can you plug in your steel and, at the same time, play recorded tracks via either1) a cable-connected device or 2) a Bluetooth connected device?

Thanks.

Thanks for the info! The ones on my LGII are Sperzals but thanks for the generous offer to send me one of the Grovers you have, David.

Hi,

The 6th string’s tuning key on my LeGrsnde II is broken. Anybody have a spare or an extra one? Or a suggestion as to what replacement keys I might order?

Thanks.

I need a tuning key for the 6th string, G#, on my LeGrande II. The small round tab/peg that holds the key in place broke off plus the nut that secures the key to the key head is stripped.

Thanks, Ian, you’re absolutely right. I took a closer look at my SD10 and the bushings are there. They were partially covered by flocking.

Are there grommets or bushings in a LeGrande’s cabinet where the crosshafts are inserted? Or are there simply wooden holes?

Are you looking for a regular 12-string-tuning push-pull or an extended E9th one?

Some time ago I a played in a band that did a Hank Williams tribute gig. It was kinda’ a big deal and there were a lot there. I played a T8 Stringmaster which absolutely nailed the tone. I ran ...

The steel I got yesterday came with a Hilton low-profile volume pedal. But there’s no power supply for it. In all my years I’ve never owned a Hilton so I don’t know if it takes a generic 9-bo ...

I have 2 extra Emmons KL flags and I’d sell one of them. Never used. Still in the package from Michael Yahl’s Pedal Steel Parts business. It’s for a KL pushing right (not left). Contact me.

I have an Emmons D12 that I’ve owned for almost 20 years. Never play it because a D10 suited me better. I’d sell it but, unfortunately, we’re in the middle of moving across country and having ...

Wow, it still has its tube cage.

I have almost every Guitar Player issue from volume 1 up until around the mid-80’s or so. It looks like you’re getting a lot of Buddy’s columns from people. Contact me if there are any of his ...

Digital modelers keep getting better. I’ve got a couple and they do well but I still prefer a tube amp.

Someone said digital modeling amps are like internet porn. It looks and sounds real but y ...

I’m going to give an opinion here that runs against the prevailing one. That is, I think Buds with pot metal mechanisms are not nightmares or somehow next to the worst you can get.

Here’s a cheap fix that usually…but not always….works. Take a tiny piece of paper, fold it once, and place it under the string between it and the changer finger. Tune it back up and you’re pl ...

If you’re looking for a Marrs D10 contact me. I’ve got one.

Thanks.
