Pedal Steel Trivia Q

Mike Marchelya · From: Denver, Colorado, USA

Has any builder ever used brass instead of aluminum for a steel?

Sorry, b0b. This probably should have gone in "Pedal Steel."

Probably not since brass and bronze weigh about the same as steel (.283 #/cubic inch). Aluminum weighs about 1/3 as much, .098#/cubic inch and weight can be an issue. Having said that, someone will post photos of Arnold playing the brass Frying Pan from Pumping Iron.

Yep sure have...but it's a non-pedal steel and all the metal is cut out of pure Brass..ha.

I knew it, damn I must be slipping, I've seen that guitar in person and it is/was stunning.
