Wonder what the copedant for that door is?
I bet it's got lots of "open" notes, and all of 'em are flat! 
It's obviously also got a vertical on it (otherwise you couldn't open it), and it may have a key to lock it, plus it may have some 4 X 2 in it, so it's probably a 4X2 push-pull in a flattened-key "open tuning".
I think I've just about exhausted all the possibilities on this one! (I really should get my head lanced.)

She will dash your hopes on what seems to be whim, only to tease you into renewing the relationship once more so she can do it to you all over again...and yet, if you somehow manage to touch her in that certain magic way, she will yield up a sound which has so much soul, raw emotion and heartfelt depth to it that she will pierce you to the very core of your being. |

| Thanks for posting pictures of the shop, guys! "What a beautiful dream...." The only shop I've been in dedicated to steel guitar was Scotty's in Overland, Mo.When I was a kid my family lived nearby for a couple years and my dad took me to get a 6-stringer, a Squier Bullet off the wall. Those floor models were the first steel guitars I recognized as such, and suddenly Hee-Haw made a lot more sense! You don't easily forget the first time you hear one played right in front of you. Never thought I'd finally get one of them 30 years later. |

I finally found a time when we were both available; Jim at 10 am me at 1 am.
As background sounds there was Jay Dee Maness just plucking away.
Pretty cool.
Someday I must make it to CA. and visit,
instead of just get parts n steels to come to me...
Love the door handle!
