Since for most purists, having the coil rewound changed the instrument forever, (it's no longer a true Ric). I had to have mine rewound as it was unplayable. It sounds real fine to me which is the per ...

Have you checked to make sure the knob is not spinning when you put a tight load on it? I have had that experience where the gears worked until you almost got the string up to tune. I found that the k ...

You guys absolutely ROCK!!!!!

Sounds like Jerry's influence really rubbed off on you Roy. Just Beautiful!!!

My Ric B8 allows me to play everything that you can on a 6 string. It also provides two additional bass strings that gives you another octave of range. I think more is better in that case.

Clark, I sent you a personal message requiring the Yamaha.

You should check out the Jerry Byrd fan club. There is a bunch of info as well as music to listen to.

If you haven't purchased your copy of the SGF CD-R it is available at the SGF store now. It has 50 different selections which range from Jazz, Western, Blue Grass, Classical & a whole lot more. Si ...

I received my copy a couple of days ago. I have been enjoying it immensely! I hope the interest keeps going and another CD is made. Keep the post up for sales so everyone knows where to get their copy ...

Really nice Jeff! Very smooth! I love it!

Hi Ray,
Nice to see you back! I will definitely check out the new songs at the fan club. It is always enjoyable to listen to your new postings.

Fabulous music and lovely scenery! Thanks for sharing!

Mike I throughly enjoyed both your version and Noels. It is nice to hear two talented guys playing a beautiful piece of music.

Thanks for sharing Clair! Very helpful!

Thanks John, I really apprepiate the info. Now if I could only make my guitar sound like the Maestro's.

Welcome to the forum David! I started playing lap steel about six months ago. My back ground was in rhythm guitar and violin. I bought a Mel Bay DVD and book which helped a little. The best help by fa ...

J, The string diameters are #2 = .014, #3 = .017 or .018, #5 = .020 - .024, #6 = .030 -.036. I believe that bOb might supply the individual strings or knows who does. I checked at Elderly Instruments ...

J, The clarification on the strings is: #1,2 & 3 use a #2 plain Spanish guitar string. #4 use a plain #3 Spanish guitar string. #5 & 6 use flat wound strings. That should get us pretty close.

J, I asked Ray about the string diameters. He referred me to the Jerry Byrd Fan Club. On the Jerry's guitar page it says to use a plain 2nd string for strings #1,#2 & #3 and a plain 3rd string for ...

Ray told me that he orders the strings for his Panda from bOb. He uses non wound strings so you don't get that scratching sound when barring the base strings. The bar seems to effortless glide over th ...

Check out Ray's rendition of Liebestraum on Ray's CD page at the jerrybyrd-fanclub.com. It is a beautiful piece and his use of special strings certainly adds to the seamless sound.

"Sweet Corn" a delightful instrumental is now playing on the home page at the jerrybryd-fanclub.com. Do any of you know what tuning that's being used. Let me know if you do.

Ray, that is a really nice sound. You should make an instrumental album of your alltime favorites.

Alan, thanks for the nice comments! What like of little rubber feet were you refering too? The tennis racquet case is truly a stroke of genius. There are probably 100 million at garage sales that cou ...
