Delvin,
I haven't done a recent count but I have about 20-25 pedal steel guitars and a bunch of the other ones also. I have 11 Emmons push/pulls.

This is my pride and joy:


Image

Here is an interesting one since I 'm on the subject of push/pulls. A couple of years ago, Ron found some old cabinets in the basement and made up a few "new/old" push pulls. Here is one I bought. It has a beautiful 30 year old natural cabinet. Everything under is hood is new.

Dave, I'm not sure how to post a clip and I just used it, for the first time, for one of my pieces. Although, if you know what I do, you know that it's not going to be in a traditional setting.

It sounds surprisingly good. Unlike most of my other guitars, it's very unforgiving and very responsive, so that the slightest bit of sloppy hand technique gets picked up.

Jamie,
That's a shame...that's just plain wrong. What a waste. Pack her up and send her to me. I'll pay the freight. I'll give her a good home.
