Hey thanks for posting the little review. I'm considering trying it myself. Does it sound like a glass slide? How does the tone bar sound on steel vs a bottleneck slide?

I'm still pretty new to lap steel (as well as playing an instrument in general) and I'm trying to play Kenny Burrell's Soul Lament.

I'm using a six string with the basic c6th tuning (I'd prefer no ...

You folks should release some demo videos with the bar.

Apart from that one video with Leisz I stumbled on there isn't anything else out there. It would been nice to see it in action on some diffe ...

Think you might be right, I'll try an Allen wrench next time.

Can you tell at all from the pics if the pickup looks OK? I think it sounds fine, but was wondering if it would be worth it to have som ...

Ok so I lowered the pole under the six string and its not buzzing as bad. I think they might be rusted or I was using the wrong screw driver (tried a flat head from an eye glass repair kit) because th ...

Can I just screw them down like that? I'll try that when I get home. I don't remember seeing notches in the top of them that looked like they could be turned with a screw driver though.

I bought a 1950 supro on ebay. I overpaid for it a bit because it didn't come with a case and some stuff on it isn't original (which I could car less about), but its in good condition and it sounds gr ...
