| Is BMI still building guitars? Did Zane or anyone else ever put out any teaching material based on Zane's tuning? |

I don't believe that Zane ever had any formal teaching method on his tuning. I play that tuning, having spent 3 months with him and Faye back in late '78/early '79. If you're really keen, I'd be happy to help you get across it. Do a search under "Zane Beck's tuning" (pedal steel) and you should discover some interesting insights.

| Somebody is still building an occasional new BMI. Herby Wallace had one advertised on the forum, at a very reasonable price, not long ago. It was a single ten with 3 pedals, 4 knees for around $1295... I had one once, one of the older ones with three pedals and three knees, standard Emmons tuning, and it was a nice guitar, played easily, stayed in tune and had nice sustain. Larry J. |
