Brings back memories from the 40's. My first electric steel was the BR9 and it got played a lot in my very early days.
Thanks for the memories!

That $200.00 is all I can afford. Living on social security leaves very little for non-essential things, so I guess Erv gets it.

Hi, I am about to turn 82 and since I quit playing and sold all my stuff several years ago, I would offer you $200.00 and it would give me something to plunk on. I used to own the same thing many year ...

Hi Jerry, That looks identical to my first double neck fender.
It would be interesting to know where you bought it. I sold mine in Salem to a student I was teaching in 1973 or 1974.
Just curious.

That same outfit was my first electric steel back in 1949.
Boy, that brings back memories!

Bump for Gary

Someone is missing a fantastic steel at a sensible price.

Bump for Gary, I can't believe this hasn't sold yet.

I am the original owner of this fine Steel. I ordered it from Herby Wallace in late 1998. It is a 1999 model and was never used in any smoke filled environment and was always taken excellent care of. ...

Thanks for any help you can give.

Sorry about the mispell, Larry.

How can I contact Lary Behm of Portland?

I use a Jim Burden 7/8 x 3-1/4, bored out and filled with something. It gives me a bar that retains the tone I want and gives me the lightness I need for playing without stress on my hand and fingers. ...

Our world has lost a very nice person.
I am sorry for his loved ones and many friends.
Herby will be missed!

Zane, that is hauntingly soothing and very beautiful. Thank you for sharing!

I have 15 of those picks and some of them have to be at least 60 years old, since I started learning to play over 70 years ago. One of these days I will have to sell some of them.

Hi Ray, thanks for the memories.

Thank you John!
It does work!

His son John Ritter sure looks like him.

I have used a Korg Rhythm KR-55for many years. It is simple and very easy to switch from number to number without any hassle. I find the ways you mention to be to restrictive for the programs I do. I ...
