Jagwire sells a Ricky Davis artist series nickel E9th set that has a wound .22 6th string. I've been very happy with their strings.

I play a very similar Asher to this. It's a great little guitar.

Mr. Stadler really built some gorgeous contraptions.

Really cool, thanks for sharing, Jon.

Beautiful guitar, Jon. What's the copedent you're using?

Nice one, Gary. I always like hearing the steel in a different sonic space like this, and you make a lot of really nice moves on that U12. I'll have to dig into your other recordings as well.

It does appear that the screw is returning fully when I release the E lever. It's possible there's a little daylight in there, but it looks like it's making contact.

I tried to adjust the collars at the bell cranks but I could not get them to budge. I tried using Allen wrench to loosen the screw but even when the screws came all the way out I couldn’t find a wa ...

Jon, thanks for the detailed recommendation. FYI, there’s a nylon tuning nut on the other end of the rod. I think earlier models used a collar but then they switched to the nylon by the time they ...

Ian, you're correct, it's a Day setup and the E lower is on LKL. I've included a couple zoomed out photos below in case it is helpful.

Thanks Ian. You’re correct that the uppermost rod controls the lower on strings 4 and 8.

Just to make sure I’m understanding you correctly, you are referring to the springs seen in the top of ...

Hey all,

My guitar is a 75 Marlen S10 E9 3x3 that uses a pull-release system. I’ve been having a consistent problem where my E lever lowers on strings 4 and 8 return flat. When I engage the F lev ...

Do you have the hex screws at the endplate tuned for the D# changes on strings 4 and 8?

I got a 70s pull-release Marlen this year and it took me a little bit to tune it correctly. This link from ...

Hey Alex,

Very tasteful ensemble playing, nice work. One of the many wonderful things this instrument can do is set a mood, and I think you're doing that well. Glad to hear the audiences are appr ...

I need a case for my '75 Marlen S10. Based on what I've looked at, it seems likely I'll need to have one made for it. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thank you all for your responses. Ivan, here are a couple closer shots of the screws from the inside. Maybe this will help.

I think this steel was stored in a room that flooded, because there� ...

Hi folks,

I recently got a 1975 Marlen pedal steel, which as I understand it has a pull-release system.

I read the very helpful document Bob posted online about how to tune this type of steel, ...

Hello fellow pedal steelers. I have been struggling to get my A pedal in tune on the low B string of my E9th. It is flat. Now, I am able to tune it up to C# perfectly fine. However, when I do so, m ...
