Ed. That is great to know and according to Vinh the Zbars that he is selling are the very best and all feedback has been positive. I thought at first the 7/8 X 3 3/8 Zbars were heavy and bulky but as ...

Ed. I wonder how many SG players use Zirc or Zbars. I am struggling to learn how to play non-pedal steel and I need all the help I can get. JB has now passed and I can only hope that i can learn from ...

Yeah, the Zbars may not be for everyone. These bars are super slick and smooth and have great sustain if that is what you are looking for. Well, Hawaiian style.

ZIRCONIUM TONE BARS. I would like to introduce members to Zbars. I have been using these bars for several months now and they are made to the highest quality. They are super smooth and provide great s ...

Hi Jim. I am still learning how to play the steel guitar, but aren't we all. I think I am past the buy every steel you can and they end up stacked up against the wall. Or maybe not. That being said, ...

I can't play this tune but I like Baz's steel version and Alpaka's vocals.

Rick, thank you for sharing this story about Phil with us. Such Loving kindness is what brings us all closer together. Personally it was a very touching story because I have been listening to Phil p ...

Hey Jeff, that was great. I suppose you are playing all the instruments. Great talent. Great show at the Halekulani.
Give me your home address so I can send you something.

Thanks, Derrick. I'll check it out. Kris

Thanks, Derrick. I'll be flying in on Thanksgiving Day and leaving on the following Tuesday. So I guess I'll miss you this time around. The last time I was there with my Uke instructor, Bum Palabric ...

Hey, Derrick I couldn't find it on Mele.com. Too new? I should be over in Honolulu over Thanksgiving. Will you be playing at Fort Street?

Hi James, I've owned the SS 6 string steel for two years now and I have not changed the strings yet. The strings pass over the bridge and the nut and over the tuning post. It came that way from MSA.

Scotty, I have an old MOT 6 string Magnatone that I recently aquired and am trying spruce up. The stencil type of fretboard has really taken a beating. It has a 22.5 inch scale. Would your fretboard ...

Mark, Cindy confused me with the statement of leaving the 7th & 8th strings off and keeping the the 1st string high G. Her suggested tuning ECACEG did not work with her tabs. But remember Cindy's tab ...

Thanks all. Mr. Bates, I justed playing last year and recently ordered Jerry Byrds course. It is good to know that he recommended the use of volume pedals. I also have Cindy Cashdollars videos and s ...

How many of you non-pedal steel players use volume pedals? What kind, when and how often? And techniques used.

Hi Lee, I bought my short scale, 8 string Excel Jerry Byrd on eBay over a year ago on a fluke *Buy It Now* for $1050. I snapped up before any bids were made. I have not seen one on Ebay since. I a ...

LT, I really love the way you play.

Wow. Stringmaster T8 sold for $3650. Was it Derrick Mau who thought about selling his a while back?

Rick, the Black Mamba is strikingly beautiful. Scary and haunting sound? Volume wide open and tone control only?

Thanks, Rick. Chromes are the world's most popular flatwound strings and revered for their warm tone and ultra-smooth feel. Stainless steel underwindings on hex cores build a foundation for the delic ...

Does anyone know the difference bwtween stainless steel flat wound and Electric chromes? Chrome, as in chrome plated strings?

Opps, I jumped the gun and ordered D'Aquisto Stainless Steel Flats from juststrings.com. Now I'll have to go back and put a set of D'Addario Chromes together. Is there a material difference between S ...

Thanks all for your help. I guess you can buy flat wound strings in the same gauges for C6 tuning.

Does anyone use flat wound strings on their lap steel? I purchase a used Rick last year and it came with these strings and I couldn't figure out why it was so easy to play. How do you buy these strin ...
