here's a 1960s Ric that Jerry Byrd actually owned and played. Obviously it wasn't one of his favorite models (non horseshoe pickup with plastic cover) or it wouldn't be in my hands now! Wink

I'm attracted to weird and off beat things. So when my Kumu, Alan Akaka challenged me a while back to build an acoustic travel steel guitar I jumped at the chance. (Not really. I whined and grumble ...

Territorial Airwaves was mentioned and I can not speak highly enough of this vast and wonderful resource of Hawaiian Music!

I'm in as well. Mahalo for the heads up Nic!

Those are great stories David and some wonderful guitars. BTW, I think I saw your Radio Flyer on Antiques Roadshow appraised at $3000. Wink

You're a bad influence on me Sebastian! Wink

The National hot rod cone swap totally transformed the guitar. I'll be swapping the cones on Alan Akaka's Style 4 now so he can start playing it again! T ...

Glenn, I got mine for $3k. But it's a style 1 and sounded pretty awful. They wanted $4k but were open to offers ands to my surprise they accepted it. It probably sat in the shop for a long time. N ...

Yes, good advice on the string change David. I could see what might happen if there was no tension on the cones and the pin in the T bridge missed the hole in the cone. That could cause the kind of ...

Thanks David. What I don't understand is how cones can get damaged in this way. There's no evidence of impact on the outside of the guitar and the bridge and cones are pretty well protected by all t ...

Haha! Great advice Glenn, thanks. I know the resonators on tricones fair better than single cones do after the years so I may get lucky and not have to do anything. The shop I bought it from is ver ...

I've just acquired a 1929 National Tricone Style 1 Squareneck. (I don't even have it in my hands yet, it's on it's way). Although it reportedly plays well, from what I understand from doing some res ...

That would be "Mapuana" Joe. You usually hear it in B11 tuning.

Good move Mike.

I've already donated to Todd via PayPal (toddclinesmith@yahoo.com) but this is a more convenient way to keep all the funds consolidated.

So sad to hear this news Todd. I'm sure there are many of us here who'd like to help you out. Please post your PayPal account info so we can do so.
Hang in their buddy, you have a good attitude.

I had one that looked just like the one you've shown. It was a model #105, built in either 1970 or 71. I've seen them sell for around $300 or so. (I gave mine away to a new student.) Sounded prett ...

Thanks everyone. I've built a few lap steels for my personal use and then thought of adding them to my ukulele line. Then I bought my B6 followed by the Clinesmith fry pan. Then I figured, why both ...

Thanks Dave. Email request sent to Tom. Smile

Great! That seems to be the ticket! Tom certainly appears to have the experience. I'll contact him now. Mahalo Nic! Smile

A friend of mine here in Hawaii, slack key legend Ledward Kaapana, just gave me this guitar. His brother, Ned (Nicky Boy) used to gig all over Waikiki with Jerry Byrd and Jerry gave it to him. Ned's ...

I'm not worthy either. But that didn't keep me from buying this lovely fry pan last week. I opted for a satin finish with black fret board. $1900.

Oh cool, thanks. Always something new to learn! Smile

That was wonderful Derrick! So nahenahe. What tuning are you using?
(BTW, I think you meant to say volume pot when referring to the violining effect. Unless it's a technique I haven't discovered.)
