I found this very cool documentary of Merle Travis with Speedy and someone else?
Anyone know who the other steel player is?

http://acousticguitar.com/video-merle-travis-tv-documentary-now-streaming/

Also in some parts he is playing a huge deco style triple neck steel.
Not sure but it looks like it says "Starto Chord" or something like that...
Anyone know?

Hello Andy,

Thanks for posting this video.
I don't know who the steel player is, with the triple neck console guitar, but it must have weighed a ton. Smile

Roger
