| Yes sir. I play a Derby SD10 and D10. Great guitars. Phenomenal sound , sometimes called "poor man's Emmons". |

Super nice. Mine is a S/N 46 so its a little newer than yours but probably made in the same week.
I have had to replace a couple of the tuning keys and am having a hard time finding new ones now.
The only real problem I have with mine is when I press the B pedal to raise the 6th and then lower my E's , the 6th string goes sharp 6 to 9 cents. It goes sharp enough that you can hear it. I cannot find any mechanical issue with this. I am using a solid string on the 6th. Any thoughts? |

In concern with the 6th string going sharp. I am using a .020 plain string.
You might try adjusting the spring tension on # 6
Mine works fine.
Do you lower the 6 string also?
