Holy cow! - this is priceless kush. Thanks so much for uploading.

Wow, that's interesting about the DI'ed steel. It is a very "hi-fi" kind of sound.

I love the "To You Sweetheart Aloha" record; Bud's phrasing is sublime (eg, the opening of "Sweet Lei Lani"). Not just monophonic lines either: a lot of pregnant double and triple ...

I thought some folks here might enjoy this as much as I did - it's a rare and ravishing set of duets for steel and organ:

Nice work Mike. (Btw, the Fender slays the Clinesmith, no?)

Does anyone know who played the second steel on this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gQTt9HZe2A

Just about everyone on the West Coast was emulating Noel Boggs and Joaquin Murphy.

Yow - I guess everyone still is. Do you recall if Boggs and/or Murph were using the volume pedal at this time?

As I remember my Roccco volume/tone pedal turned the Pot shaft by gears which were a little noisy. I bought this pedal in 1945. When Bigsby came out with his "String" Pedal that was the en ...

Great information, guys, thanks. But I don't want this moved to the Electronics section!

I was more wondering about the use of the volume pedal as a stylistic device. What folks pioneered it? Was ...

Interesting, Mike.

Can you think of any use it prior to Jerry Byrd?

I'm wondering if anyone can sketch for me the history of the use of the volume pedal with steel guitar. Who were the first to use it, and how did it come about, and how did it develop from there? Who ...

Thanks for all the suggestions, folks.

I meant to add: is there anyone else that comes to mind?

Thanks, Mike. I've had Bob work on my Martins - and he is the best! But I didn't know he did resos.

Can anyone recommend a good resophonic guitar repair person in the New York city area?

Vibes player on that Jules version should be shot - no?

Hey Mike: I did a stint of about a year using mizrabs, but on standard guitar (before I started playing steel). They definitely have certain advantages, but I could never quite get past the problem wi ...

What's the string spacing on the 8-string dobro? (Drool.)

Wonderful discussion, Mike - you are so right on target. (The program Transcribe changed my life; it's the best.)

I often find I need to spend a few weeks (or months) shedding something I've transc ...

Does anyone know who the steel players are on this easy listening classic:

http://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix0912/7129_Hawaii__Cover_1.jpg[/img]

The minimum buzz occurs when bar and string meet at 90 degrees. When slanting with a bullet bar, it's possible to get cleaner break angle, on the top string only, by fretting that string with the tip ...

If you do remove your support I would make another, smaller one that rests back further to allow for muting if you must.

This is a great idea - thanks.
Or maybe a cover that goes on when you w ...

I cut the palm rest off my dobro about six months of hard playing ago. No ill effects, and I love the increased timbral possibilities.

There may be some confusion in this thread between what steel ...

Another 2¢ for this pot:

The richness and fertility of a tuning is determined by what will grow in it: a good one is one that supports a large crop of excellent music. The only tunings that have p ...

Thanks for the link, Brad. (You guessed right: I was on my Mac.)

Anyway, wow: what great playing.
