Hi all!
I am an aspirant pedal-steeler...
I have the possibility to buy an used instrument Sierra Artist S-10 at $795
What about this instrument ?
This have only two knee and three pedal; it's a significant limitation ?
What in comparison for example with a CarterStarter ?
many thank for your help/suggestions.
Btw, because I'm from Italy (in Italy) I'll have to buy blindly becuase in my country pedal-steel are like UFO

Giorgio,
Is the steel located in Europe or in The U.S?
If it is located in the U.S you should add shipping,insurance and possible tax you have to pay.If it's located in Europe you would have the same problem but since the steel already is in Europe that amount wouldn't be that high.
But $795 would get you a Carter Starter which has 3 pedals and 4 knees.
If you ask me I would go for a Carter Starter.

Ciao Giorgio,
Buongiorno amico. Good luck with your purchase. It doesn't sound like too bad of a price to me, E non troppo carro, and you should be able to get started just fine with 2 knee levers.
I will email you with some more info, and if I can help you in any way, let me know. I have a girlfriend in Bologna, and have been there a couple of times so I can appreciate the "UFO" comment.
Stammi bene amico mio. Spero parlare con te subito.
Ciao ciao,

Giorgio,
I agree - you would be better off with a 3 X 4 guitar.
I was looking at this one myself on the Carter website this morning - it is a mighty pretty instrument! I imagine Carter's shop could handle adding additional knee levers but you could probably find a full-featured S-10 for less than what the total cost for that would be.
Keep checking the Forum ads - some nice instruments come across there.
best of luck,
David |

A Sierra Artist 3+2 is a good deal at $795.
I'm moving this to the Pedal Steel section because it's not a classified ad.
