Just wondering, as I'm using the Jeff Newman tuning chart. Does that make a difference? I mean, is it already counting in the cabinet drop or should I still tune with A+B, B+C, A+F together?

Thanks for your replies Smile

Thanks for your replies. Gotta in to some new habits then. I guess this means, that if you'd ie play a major scale up, on note at a time, you'd always use both pedals to bend, although you only really ...

Hi folks,

I'm rather new at the steel and have started to wonder about the A&B-pedals reg. intonation and the so-called 'cabinet drop'. Would you - if possible - always press down both pedals a ...

Thanks to all of you - seems everything is fine then. I'll experiment a bit with the tuning when I get to my rehearsal space again tomorrow.

Thanks, Earnest. So what you mean is that I first tune the whole step raise by the rod/nut and afterwards tune the half step from under the pedal steel? I'm assuming it's the thingy in the middle of y ...

Hi,

Iâ€™m still relatively new to the PSG and noticed a strange thing while tuning yesterday. I have Sh oBud 6140 (rebuilt to E9) with a LKR (e->f) and C-pedal (4+5. string goes one note up ...

Thanks for your replies! I'll check those out. Another though was to use a tuner that I can just (easily) change HZ on when going from string to string. Any suggestions for this solution? Preferably w ...

Hi,

I'm on the lookout for a tuner for my PSG, which I can program to ie. F# to 442,5, D# for 339 etc, so I don't have to mess with changing & remembering hz. Would be optimal if I could save d ...

Thanks to all of you for your replies. Dan, you were right and tightening it solved the issue. Happy new year, folks! Smile

Hi, I have a ShoBud 6140 and am pretty new in business. The A-pedal has stopped working for my lowest B string, so nothing happens there when pressing the pedal (5th string is working fine though). Do ...

Gordon, I agree with you that I probably won't play that pattern in a musical setting very often. But as a newbee on the steel I want to start out right, so I'm trying to learn a few licks, patterns e ...

Thanks a lot for all your feedback, I'll check out the links and suggestions. Seems there's no 'one way' to do approach this - doesn't surprise me, although it would have been easier Wink

Hi,
Happy to join the forum. Iâ€™m new at the steel and am struggling with pick blocking and how to approach it. Could anyone advise me on an appropriate fingering for this exercise - both in te ...
