No volume pedal here, but rather using his pinky and a pot.

Donny, I was unaware Magnatone ever made pedal steels. Do you know if they had a model name, or if there are any photos of one? I couldn't find anything online.

Here ya go, Mark

Anyone know who this group is?

Looking for two chrome bridge covers for a long scale Fender 1000

Thanks

That's the 'G11' tuning but with an added G on top and on bottom. It's used in a lot of old Hawaiian music.

Lovey Lui played this tuning

Looking to buy a single channel Sho Bud S-15 amp.
I have a 15" speaker I'm set with, so would be fine buying one without a speaker in it.

Here are a couple quick videos I made messing around with a steel connected to a vocoder.

That's Bobby Koefer.
He didn't wear fingerpicks from what I can tell. I think helps the kind of chiming he's doing. Just touching the string with his index and picking with his thumb.
