Here's the ones I like!
One I go to first off, is Charles Kaipo Miller's version. I think they were conjecturing it was written by his father? https://www.discogs.com/release/22303393-The-Charl ... |

JAS C13 and Junior C13 are basically the same tuning for seven strings, just the former adds a low C on the bottom, the latter adds a high G on top. A .070 is what I use for my LOW C...ain't no way t ... | |

I'm not a great at it, but whenever I am playing jazz, I tend to devolve into single note stuff. I'm very chordal when playing Hawaiian music (at least the hapa haole stuff that is very jazz inspired ... | |

As a "grandstudent" of Jerry Byrd, you'd think I might use it more but I never do. Never felt natural to me and JB was more of an exception rather than the rule with Hawaiian steel guitar s ... | |

Won't lie, made me think of Fallout! I'd been tinkering with the song occasionally in C6... Nice job! | |

Very nice! I'd be tempted if I didn't already have one. The pickup covers and knobs are different as mentioned, late 50s I guess. I am jealous of the Magnatone badge though...mine doesn't have one ... | |

That said...shortest shortcut to the cliched Hawaiian sound...slow 1 fret slides into the chord in C6 tuning. Strum the strings the fret behind the chord you're playing and just slide it up leading i ... | |

You know, its a good question and the sort of thing I've thought a lot about myself, given that I'm probably *mostly* interested in Hawaiian music.
My opinion...the pickup you are looking for may o ... |

Looks like a great instrument of that class (8 string single neck...not the most common!) at a great price. I mean, the lollar stringmaster pickups alone will set you back almost half that price!!

Very nice! Love the song choices, I may have to try these out when I get enough time to dig in...I'm a C6 guy for sure. I've tried, and kind of failed, to work out a good "I Like You" in C ... | |

Looks like it varied, judging by album text on discogs. Sounds like the group was based on the west coast and featured lots of notable players. Aloha Hawaii had Lani Sang on steel (and featured Sam ... | |

I'm not sure if Stringmaster blender wheels provide a mix of 100%-BRIDGE-PICKUP to 100%-NECK-PICKUP, or just adding NECK PICKUP in varying ammouts to the BRIDGE PICKUP which is always on (if anyone kn ... | |

I would really recommend at least reaching out to Basil...he does a lot of different bar dimensions, including unique ones for Hindustani style slide. They tend to be pretty skinny.
He lists one a ... |

Growing up we had a Betamax tape of that movie! WC Fields was great (It's a Gift was my favorite).

The thing is like most about Hawaiian music like the Mahi Beamer track above, is that the steel guitar is not even the best part of the music. It’s the vocals, man. Just magical.

I have scans (somewhere) of Jerry's handwritten tablature for this song. Jerry had some very unique notation markings as I recall, takes some interpretation.
These videos have been available for a ... |

On string gauges for the low C I used to use the Pearse sets for 8 string C6 and B11 and I think it was in the 62, 64 range. When I got my Clinesmith 8string pan, he strung it from his shop with a bi ... | |

I've experienced this too with various guitars more than the other. The physics are kind of interesting, I'm guessing it has something to do with the string on each side of the bar vibrating at the s ... | |

C6 and A6 are close enough functionally that I would say, pick whichever is most common in whatever you are learning from. You can as mentioned tune back and forth. Tunings are super personal of cou ... | |

You'll get a lot of opinions on this here! And have, already!
I agree with others, Larkin Poe is a great example of music that isn't in the traditional non-pedal steel guitar world, and I would sa ... |
