Lots of great stuff here! Thank you so much! I’m saving them all, hoping to get to as many of these places as possible!

Bob and Ricky, thank you so much! I’ve been reading a lot about Broken Spoke. Seams like the kind of place you just have to visit. Great to hear that there’s still some good live pedal steel to be ...

Thank you all so much! Can’t wait to get over there. For pedal steel there’s really no place on earth like the U.S.

I’ll definitely give Johnie King a visit! Jim Palenscar and the Sierra fact ...

Hi! Don’t know if this is the right place for this post but I’ll give it a try!
Me and my wife are traveling to the U.S. from Sweden in the beginning of June. We’ll be over for 5 weeks. We’re ...

Hi!
Does anybody know where I could get ahold of Jeff Newmans video courses? I’d also be interested in other vintage material that teaches palm blocking and that vintage Lloyd/Weldon style playing ...

Hi!
I need your help with an issue I’m having with my C-Pedal. The problem is that the E-string starts raising the second I touch the pedal where as the B-string needs to travel a few mm before an ...

Thank you Ian! I tried turning the thumbscrew but I didnâ€™t seam like anything happened. It felt like it was just spinning. Still when I turned the steel around it did actually feel a little bit ...

Hi! Iâ€™m having a question about the 2nd string halfstop on my msa. I just canâ€™t figure out how to adjust it. Itâ€™s two separate problems but I guess their connected. The first issu ...

I think I finally got it! Everything now works like itâ€™s supposed to! Just need make some minor adjustments to get the feel right. Thank you all so much for all your help, youâ€™ve been a ...

FINALY! I moved the rod for the high E raise down to a lower hole in the bellcrank too keep it from bending. I also moved the bell crank itself a tiny bit to the side. Everything operates much smoothe ...

New update. The fingers not aligning was definitely caused by overturning the E to Eb change. The strange thing is that I canâ€™t get the lever to lower the string at all unless itâ€™s tuned ...

I untightened all the tension on all the changes on both the Es except for the high e raise. When doing so nothing is pulling the lever back at all. It stays where I put i it.

I did try looking f ...

Iâ€™m posting a picture showing the changer with the strings â€œin tuneâ€. Everything is in line except for the High E. I tried to push it back in place but thatâ€™s not possible. ...

Three Questions:

To test the changer finger to see if it is sticking (and isolate it from the rest of the pull train), use a screwdriver or pen or something to push on the 4th string raise finger ( ...

Thanks a lot to all of you for all the help! Especially Tucker for summarizing everything.

As for right now I'm back to where I was before the tuning issues really took off, which means that the ...

I noticed that the high E bell crank was tilted back in relation to the lower one. I adjusted that and that actually seemed to help with the string not returning to pitch. Iâ€™ve got an old MSA C ...

Erik I'm no steel tech and though I own a couple MSA's they are newer than yours. So one of the things I'm curious about it the amount of travel on your E raise lever, which looks off to me. Anyhow, ...

Thank you so much for all the answers!

Do you think the work on the changer only will address the issue with the string returning sharp or could it help with the tuning problems as well?

Hi! I really need help with my LKL raising my high E to F. At first the problem was that the string always returned quite a bit sharp after raising it. For some reason this could be fixed by tuning th ...
