Don’t know where the word, hysteresis came from for steel guitar. Probably same place copedent came from. All guitars come back with C a little sharp, some more than others. It’s where the string ... | |

Forum Section: Pedal Steel Posted: 12 Mar 2024 11:19 am Subject: Push Pull 6th String Lower |
Full lowers on 6th work fine on a push pull with no notivable problem for B pedal. I’ve also got a tunable split on mine where A pedal raises it back a half tone. Doesn’t affect A pedal either. | |

I just never understood how Mark can do what he does and as many as he does with such perfection. Yes, he is the best. | |

I don’t have a fix but I’m very puzzled that a fine guitar like a Mullen would have such an issue. I wouldn’t file on anything because something else wrong somewhere. | |

I believe the keyhead hole where string goes may have a burr or sharp edge somewhere. | |

You just need to move your collar on your 8th string in, closer to changer so it can push it further. It should have a compression spring on it too. | |

All you have to do is cut to proper length, then rethread them. I bought a little die set at Harbor freight. They don’t have to be rolled. I’ve done many that way. You will need a vice. | |

On a push pull, the lower rod itself is a good solid stop on right knee, the shorter lowers. The left knee lowers do need a solid stop as the lower rods can tend to flex making knee spongy. Just my op ... | |
