Marco - I assume the rollers are in the correct order since I haven't removed them yet. I'll look at the 9th and 10th string nuts to make sure they weren't inadvertently swapped previously.

Yes, I ...

Thanks Ernie. I got rid of the buzz with a drop of 3-in-1 oil each side of the offending roller nuts. This will suffice until after the gig on Thursday.

David,

Thanks for sharing your roller maintenance method. I'll probably fully remove the rollers (noting order) to get the axle that much cleaner. I like your idea of rotating the roller if not usi ...

Ian/Henry,

Wrapping clockwise so it's the same direction as tightening the set screw makes perfect sense. I'll do that from now on, as well as the extra wrap. I found my BMI stays in tune real well ...

Donny - I have essentially no idea what I'm doing, so no shimming! I'll be lubricating the rollers as a temporary fix and then cleaning once I have more time.

Henry - If the locking mechanism is sy ...

Thank you, Ian. Sounds like lubricant (and some cleaning) actually is the answer. I'll give it a try.

Thanks again.

Thanks for the advice. Guitar Map is exactly what I needed.

A big thanks to Karlis for putting this extremely helpful tool online for free!

Hello,

Is there software available where you can input your copedent and the program will tell you which frets/pedals/levers for particular chords/scales? I did a preliminary search of the forum an ...

Thanks everyone. I will get some epoxy to fix the leg.

I've had the leg drop while setting up/breaking down for a couple gigs, which was fairly embarrassing, and even been lazy enough about fixing ...

All,

I have a 12-string BMI keyless pedal steel that has a leg where the threaded bushing became detached from the tubular metal leg when I was unscrewing it from the body. I'm not sure if a gasket ...

Dan,

Thanks for letting me know the history of this unique steel. For some reason, it seemed important to know that. I would have never guessed it was "born" during Reagan's first year as ...

Zane,

Thank you for the fantastic instrument! It looks great - now I just need to learn how to coax bearable sounds out of it. It's only uphill from here!

Can you shed any light on the history o ...
