Santa brought me a special 11 string BMI that Tom Brumbly had built for himself.
The very best pedal an knee leaver action of any steel I’ve ever owned. Short stroke on knees an pedals but very easy too push. Lowers are push raises are pull. Has a changer on each end. Pickup end is the raise end.

You're a lucky man indeed,,,that's something I could REALLY go for. Tom was a good friend when he was down in this part of the country. He gave me my first keyless guitar,,,,I don't remember if it was 11 or 12 string,,,it was PP though.

Sonny thanks wow this BMI plays incredible an I think it has special string spacing a little wider at the pickup end than your normal BMI like a Emmon’s spaceing, an the knee leavers are placed perfectly this was a custom fit steel for Tom. I’m 6 foot 0ne inch and it fits me perfectly. All the knees are a joy too use they have very short travel and push effortlessly. Also I can change strings on this steel in the blink of an eye compared to a key model.

Nice looking BMI! Just changed the 3rd string in my 12-string keyless for the first time and you are right, it makes it easier!
