Here's a demo of my 8x5 Emmons PP which I've given an alternative use of the LKV pedal. Also the C pedal has a non-standard use as well. It's a personal thing to do this, so please be kind in your com ...

Thanks to everyone for their insights on the matter. I just love doing it - phrasing is more musical right of the shelf. Plus it's a great way to monitor yourself: are the notes coming out of the stee ...

very neat! Superb timing.
May I say it is very well recorded as well.

I wonder if other forumites do this? I often sing along to what I play. For practice. Here's an example, a blues in F. https://youtu.be/fzcFfMp675A
Just wish I could sing chords too Laughing

Spectacular instrument, contrast!
My own built lapsteel bass only has 3 strings Winking

I recorded this just to be my own teacher, videos help me to know what I'm doing wrong.

So here's a demo of my daily rig, featuring a Quilter PB200 head (one of those with the Tri-Q knob). Enjoy... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AbDV9KbDtjM

Just for you I will put it back up. Watch out for it soon.
I saw it, thanks. That's a really nice tune to play on a steel guitar.

Right you are...

Sorry I missed your video. Last week was pretty busy.

This is me playing it, just some jazz licks and chords in A6 tuning

Here is my Guyatone D8 playing some time ago.

I can't watch it, James. Message saying that video is set to private

Here's some photos of the removal of one PU, and installation of a new one (actually a Fender Jazz Bass pu). The oddest thing about the original pu is that the magnets just sit loosely in there. After ...

Thanks everybody, successfully removed 1 old PU & installed a new one. Pics and video proof bound to follow. You're the best!

I recently picked up this (? 60ies) Guyatone 8-string console. The thing seems to be well built, stays in tune, etc etc but the pickups don't sound good. I have other 8st pups laying around, so I'd wa ...

It's really though to not live in the US. I would buy this one in a heartbeat if it wasn't for the insane taxes and import fees... (I'm in Belgium, central Europe that is...)

Hi Jan,
I counted 10 strings on his E9th in the video...

Thanks Tucker! I'm still in progress on what I'm gonna do with the C-pedal, for now it's a kinda FranklinP, lowering G# to F# (didn't use it in this video)

I once read on this Forum that putting a E to F# raise on the LKV (instead of the usual B to Bb lower) can be useful. So I tried it, and I think it's gonna stay. Here's a demo: [url=https://www.youtub ...

A lot of people make fun of the Sho~Bud Maverick (the 3&1, brown vinyl covered type).
But if you look at them as a 10-string lap steel (console if you will) with a few abilities to change the pit ...

I've been reading a lot lately, on the development of the pedal steel guitar. About a certain moment in time, I'm curious for the insights of any Forum Member that may be relevant.

Perley, did you receive my PM?

PM sent

Rick, would you be willing to ship it overseas? I live in Belgium (Europe, that is...)

ok... good luck with the sale

I've been missing my SS D10 ever since I sold it (reason: I got me an Emmons PP D10). Very interested in this guitar. Will you ship it to Europe? -edit- Do you still have the original SS pickup? Or wa ...
