Hello all,
Well, once again I get to the gig and something won't work. This time it's the raise on the 10th string with the A pedal. At first it would only raise the string one fret instead of a wh ...

I got it fixed. Thanks to all for your help. I lubricated with breakfree but that didn't work. So rather than clips coils off of a spring I used one on the steel that had never been used and swapped i ...

Ok, my E's are on my right knee (MSA setup, not Emmons). RKR lowers and RKL raises.

Thanks Familly !
So, I have wd40,breakfree, and balistol.
Which should I use??

Hello all,
I have a 1990 era Carter S10.
The knee lever that lowers string 8 (E to Eb) will not let the string return to E but I get a slightly flat E.

Hello,

Beautiful steel and floor! Could you tell me what species of wood that floor is??
Thanks.

Lookin' at buyin' one.
1. Do any have a scale like my D10? I tried one and the scale is much longer than my steel.
2. Are there any 8 string ones (I want C6 tuning) for under $600 that sound good?

Did Mr. Blanton ever play with a group called
"The Uptowners"? I got a record with a new pair of boots in '70 and the band had one of the best steel players I ever heard.

Back in the early '70s I got a 45 with a pair of boots in San Antonio (Tx) with a super steel player. The band name was The Uptowners I beleive.

Like Peter said, make the diminishes:
1/2 of A pedal(if one of you knees doesn't lower the 5th, 10th by 1/2. If you have this pull use it while pushing A pedal all the way down.) ADD to this the B pe ...

Thanks Crowbear,
Now the dumb question: how do you get rid on the melody line that is in there? When I play along with them that melody line makes me think my steel sounds bad (more than usual Laughing

If you want to see if taking off the RKR pull will make that lever easier to push FIRST JUST adjust the rod to where that 7 string is not pulling at all and that should give you the feel of not having ...

Great post,
Most of the time I drop my bar when one pops while saying something that I shouldn't.
I changed my 4th pedal on C6 to pull 2 and 6 +1/2 which is a way to very closely achieve the E9 st ...

If you can learn to use 4 picks you can play alot of nice grips on C6 AND E9 that can not be played by raking because you need to skip some strings. In fact, most of the fat color(Jazz)chords on th E9 ...

IMHO, B6 is easier than C6 because you use the same fret positions in typical keys (C,D,E,A, etc) to make the 1,4,5 chords.
i.e. key of D on C6 is 2nd fret, like playing in
F# on E9. How often do y ...

Thanks for the responses, I learned alot.

What's the easiest/cheapest way to replace the standard fretboard. My necks have beautiful wood and I want to see it not the metal fretboard. I'm not picky as to if it's replaced with silkscreen or pa ...

You need to go to a steel convention and try'em out. I went to my first convention in Dallas last year and learned so much about all kinds of stuff.
