Hi all!
A friend of mine let me know that she needs to sell her 97 year old mom's Emmons S10. She had to go to an assisted living facility. Her mom played it for many years, but I don't know how to ...

I am looking for the 2 and 4 hole cranks (pulls) for this MSA. I would like to make some changes to the copedent, but can't get parts from MSA. Any thoughts or other help is appreciated.

Thank you all for the feedback! I will definitely do some homework on this! And thank you for the encouragement. I've been at this a while and am wanting to try some new things so I don't get stale. A ...

I keep trying to find rhythm tracks to play to, but I can't find anything I like. I hear the background tracks of great folks like Tony Browne (RIP). I love all his music! I assume he made his own tra ...

Thank you, Doug.... I have to say I was hoping to not have to learn another software package, but maybe that's the best route. Thank you for taking the time to answer. I hope you have a great new year ...

I guess I wasn't clear. So sorry. I was looking for hardware not software. I have Garage Band, but I prefer using a keyboard to create rhythms and accompaniment if I can. It doesn't matter. I don't pl ...

I know there are lots of posts about back up tracks. Many folks offer them and I have several. However, we all have listened to Tony Browne, Sarah Jory and Dave Hartley on YouTube. Does anyone know ho ...

Thank you all for your insights, advice and comments. I really appreciate them!
Paul, maybe you could share a little more detail as to how that was done on the Carter? I am not a machinist so I can't ...

Thank you, again. I (my dad actually) bought the guitar new in '75. It has never been modified. Anyway, I've taken enough of your time on this and appreciate all the insights and advice. Making rod ch ...

Oh my friend, I never intended for anyone to spend so much time with me on this. I appreciate it more than I can tell you. The problem is that I could never twist my ankle, essentially rotate it, 30 d ...

I have tried moving my chair, raising my chair, raising the guitar and changing the pedal heights every which way. I still cannot comfortably tilt my left foot off the B to the A. I do it, but it's no ...

I wonder if I would have played any better if it was actually more comfortable to play!!

Thank you all for your valued input! Unfortunately based on John's comment, and I agree, changing them may be more than I can handle - at least not without some real hand-holding along the way! I will ...

Hey! Thank you all for the replies! My guitar is a D10. It sounds like I am not the only one to have this little issue. That's comforting! You can see that the B pedal aligns pretty much with the nut. ...

I have been playing my MSA for, well, a long time. I realized a long time ago that it seems that the location of my A and B pedals is a little too far to the left to be comfortable when I rock from on ...

I'm 6'2" and have the same problem. I have tried to raise my MSA high enough to clear my knees but the front leg height rests on the pedal board and no matter what I try I can't keep them tight e ...

Ok. This sounds like something I DON'T want to tackle.
How you know where on the shafts to lock the pulls is apparently some magic I don't have. I'd rather figure out some complex electronic circuit ...

I have an MSA D10 that I have played for almost 5 decades. I have always felt like the A pedal was too far to the left of where my left knee has to be positioned to make rocking onto A comfortable, no ...

Just wondered if anyone heard his rendition of the song, Somewhere Over the Rainbow? The chord patterns and the smooth melody as he played them are just beautiful, and always touches me.

I see on the Forum and hear in videos folks who have great accompaniment tracks behind them. Is BIB the best? I have to do some research on it yet as I don't even know how to use it or what it's capab ...

Thanks for the insight. I will consider those options!

I have a 1975 MSA D10 8/4 and would like to have it insured. How would I go about finding out how much it's really worth for insurance purposes? I had her since new - she and my Peavey Session 400! Th ...

Hey, can anyone adequately explain how one plays the ending of Niklas' version of this song?!!! Not the notes, per se, but the technique. How are runs like this done? It's allover the song! I cannot f ...
