12-string universal; no 9th string D.

To find the version of BiaB that was used, trial and error the version to the key of C and match up the chords.

Thanks Richard.

Another Example:
It is quite advantageous to be able to rotate the bell crank very close to the 9 o'clock position for compensators such as you might have on the first string, F#. ...

I had the pleasure of hearing Al Brisco perform this tune a couple of years ago, and was impressed with his version of the Jo Stafford number. The following is a Band-in-a-Box version (You Belong to ...

Sorry, Bent. I missed your last comment concerning the machining of the square shaft to round. You had already covered the issue.

If manufacturers applied the Blanton bell crank to their guitars, I could live with it since it overcomes the problem of trying to make pull rod starts, on the same shaft, all occur at the same time. ...
