Look up forum member Mike Neer. He played a tricone in a version of E tuning on a couple of excellent CD's. I would call him the best source of hints given where you are.

Thanks B0b and Mark. I appreciate you both.

It does, in fact, cripple you in terms of what bluegrass players are normal expected to sound like. And I got some unfriendly looks from bluegrass purists when I played my C6 at bluegrass jams. But ...

I had very good luck with C6. I started out with it because I was moving over from electric lap steel. But it worked out so well, I never changed. It is a very versatile and facile tuning. And I w ...

C#m7 is the traditional name for the tuning. I don't know where it came from. Probably from Sol.

Duypetreme's contracture has done in my picking hand. And my ability to hear pitch as been deteriorating for a while now. First i had to quit playing electric. Then I had to quit tricone. Then woo ...

I can't find a mailing address anywhere......

I was very pleased with my Republic.

Mike Neer has done some top notch recordings with tricone. I think that if you give some of them a listen, you will be totally sold on his suggestion.

I played more like acoustic lap steel than dobro. I used C6. I found it to be much more versatile for swing and traditional jazz among other things. But some very impressive things can be done in G ...

That E7 tuning was popular in the 60's. one of the most common instruction books of the time taught in that tuning. As for your E6, Scott, that looks like a workable tuning to me. It's kind of unco ...

Nice steel work on both electric and acoustic. I like the vocals, too. So when are you guys doing a summer festival tour here in the states?

As far as performance goes, playing within one's ability can make one sound better than one actually is.

I think that is what is referred to as a, "Learning experience," as in, "Oh no! Another learning experience!!"

I'm not sure. But that high range makes me think it is. It is amazing to me how good he made the lap steel sound with such basic techniques. Very few others had a musical sense like him. My favori ...

This is the song that did it for me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lBpERMkIYlY

Grrrrreat! I have to admit though that I miss your tricone work. I thought it was truly superlative.

What tuning do you use on electric steel? Is it pedal or non pedal? 6 strings or 8? These are important questions, I think. I use the same tuning on acoustic steel as I did on electric lap steel. ...

I don't see why you would need to change the nut and or bridge. I experimented with gauges a lot and never had to. Sometimes you might, though if you are going to a much heavier string.

In contrast, John D's first enterprise, the National people seem to be doing pretty well for an acoustic steel guitar company. This is likely to create a stir I know. But I don't see any new golden ...

I'm in the same boat. Wish I still had mine.
