The W is the infamous wrist lever.

Note that I drop the low B string to A on the A pedal.

This classical piece was ...

I was planning to go, but am under the weather and my body is telling me to stay home and rest. Bummer.

Please tell Bruce and Dan I said hello.

I also use a Rat. I also have an old (70s) EHX Big Muff. Some day I'll A B them and see if maybe I like the Big Muff more. But for now the Rat is in my
Pac-a-seat, and the Big Muff is in a drawer.

I have to agree with #4. The steel is capable of so much more than most people realize. In my opinion, too many players are so memorized by Buddy's work, that they fail to look beyond it.

There's a CD somewhere of Turchetti's work.

Thanks Mike,

I think the 2nd string C# is so valuable that I tune the string to that note and raise it to D and D# on 2 different knee levers.

I like 6 too.

I also hate half stops and don't have any on my guitars. I tune my 2nd string to C# and raise it to D and D# on 2 different knee levers.

Jim Palanscar in California probably has everything you need. Steel Guitars of North County is his business name I believe.

Thanks Al. I'm glad you like it.
