I can put pad on detachable shelf or just a small wrist pad on pickup end.

Thanks Ross I know you know how much work gose into crafting a fret board like this. I actually watched you crafting one on your YouTube Chanel. My fret board is a friction fit there’s actually a small sound chamber underneath the fret board.

Very BEAUTIFUL!!!! A work of art! I don't really understand a pull-release,,,,does it have have limitations as to the number of raise and lower on each string or pedal?

Thanks Sonny yes I can lower any string if you notice I can line up my tone changer fingers no problem, most pull release I’ve seen at are all different positions. I set the pitch for lowers at the end plate with a headless Allen set screw thrur a one half inch piece of nylon. When you use the knee leaver the Allen set screw stops the changer at
The correct lowered pitch the spring will pull the lowered string back when u release the knee lever to pitch. A very simple pull release set up. A smart monkey could work on this steel.

Hey Johnie,,,that is a beautiful piece of work!!!
What I'm wondering, is that system limited to the number of changes on each string. LIke could you have 3 raises AND 2 lowers,,,or 2 lowers AND 2 raises on the same string? I'm thinking b0b's D6 tuning,,,,6 pedals and 6 KL. or even 5 and 5? (I think it is a tuning listed in the copedents section of the forum)

Sonny I wouldn’t want to load it up that much it more suited for a Loyd green copeadent.
I lower both E’s
An the second an 9 string
I’m sure you could do what your asking but it would take some time.
That’s many pulls needs to be a three over three all pull.
This is basically a stage one with changeable copeadent. It has easy move Bell cranks.
