I have an old Rusler steel and bring it out every now and then. Being cast metal they sure are heavy.
Hope you sell all the pedals. They sure feel good when pressing them with just socks on.

I got my new special built Hudson Steel yesterday and I am totally happy with it.
I had to have Jimmie move the pedals to the right side because I have a prosthetic left leg. The knee levers were lef ...

This is a subject I have never fully understood, and will probably have trouble putting into words. I really can't understand why a very large number of Musicians spend their lives trying to sound exa ...

Thanks Jeff for the info
Knee levers won't be a problem for me. I was thinking about setting it up ECAGEC and splitting up the 7 pedal from a Jeff Newman setup. A pedal would raise C to D and B pedal ...

I have a Fessenden Six Shooter that I want to change over to C6th or ????. What tuning would be good for this with only 2 pedals? I like C6th on a lap steel but the slants are giving me a lot of troub ...

Thanks John for the tab. Hope I can end up playing it at the tempo.

I give it the Sarah Jory facial expressions when I get close to the mark.

I ordered some 1/8 tuners from Steel Guitar Network and Hank Ruf has the 3/32 ones in a pack of ten. They show as being closed end.

Thanks John for the Mansion on the Hill tab. This is my first from you and it looked very very good. It must have taken a lot of work to do this and I am sure the forum members, including myself, appr ...

Excellent playing. You had my foot tapping to you.

Would a longer scale be easier to do slants? I have 3 lap steels and I have found, to get the right spot, that the longer ones are better for getting it right without hunting for the key. The shorter ...

Thanks George for the info. I think most of my problem is visual. I have 3 lap steels that are different scale lengths and changing from one to the other is part of the problem. I guess I need to just ...

After thinking about it Charlie, you are right. Just a thought though. I guess I'll just have to practice some more. It usually sounds good but every now and then I'll miss the fret and when I correct ...

Thanks Andy for the reply
I don't do too bad hitting the fret but being 72 years old, it just doesn't hit the spot sometimes and it shows in the sound of adjusting the bar to what you want to get. I ...

Instead of placing the bar over the fret, I am thinking I can adjust the adjustable bridge so I can place the bar right behind the fret so I can see it when playing. I haven't tried this but wondering ...

I have changed tuning to C6---GECAGE and like it very much so far. Haven't worked on the pedals but going to play around with some raises. Its easy to adjust these with a easy setup for raises.
I hav ...

Well I have set it up to ECAGEC high to low and have set the pedals to raise. High E to F, A to A# on the pedal 2. High C to C# and Low C to D on pedal 1.
I don't know what this ends up being since I ...

I thought this article did a pretty good job explaining the differences between the different DAW's that are available today.
The only thing I might disagree with is that the author says Audacity is ...

Larry, if it helps, it is possible to add either a 3rd pedal or a knee lever to the 6 shooter (or both, I guess but on a single raise guitar it might be hard to find enough changes to justify both).

I love the sound of someone playing good hawaiian sounds
Well, you don't need any pedals for that. What is drawing you to a pedal guitar, then? The answer to that might help steer the answer to your ...

Thanks fellows for the info. I am going to play with it with different tunings and find out which I like best. Changing the setup underside is no problem. It is very simple setup. I do have a 10 strin ...

I'd rig a reverser array like on a Sho-Bud Permanent before I'd try to think of a raise-only C6th arrangement.
Tje only useful raises I see would be the Cs and the A, but they're far lower on the lis ...

Assuming CEGACE, I'd drop 4 with P1, and P2 would raise 1 and drop 5. All changes a half step.. These are P5 and P6 of the standard C6th

Thanks Lane for the info. Only problem is they only raise th ...

I have a Fessenden Six Shooter that I would like to set up with C6 tuning and would like to know what strings to control with the 2 pedals. I am not very familiar with C6 but it sounds like it would b ...

Just look at each of us as Steel players, heck, we mostly all have the same if not a very similar E9th tuning , don't we ? But yet..do we all play the same ? Question

Definitly not. I listen to ...
