My condolences on the loss of your husband.
Did he make it ?

I don't think that $ 500 is too much to ask for such a beautiful instrument. If you don't need the money, you might hold onto it until ...

Great stuff!! Not only do they play superbly, but her voice is magnificent. Thanks for sharing.

In a later video, she says she is using standard dobro tuning ?

Time to order a few sets of strings and experiment.

The scale is 21 inches, and yes, I did mean DBGDBG.
That is the tuning that Megan Lovell of Larkin Poe uses.

Thanks, Mike,

That gives me a good place to start

I have a rogue lap steel that I would like to try tuning to DBGDBG.

2 questions

1) Can I get by using the strings that are on it ( C6 ), or will I need to replace the strings ?

2) If I need t ...

Bill,
I'll take it if not already sold.

Thanks

I want to give a shout out for Sonny Jenkins. I contacted him about an 8 string practice board tuned to c6 but with a string spacing to match the pedal steel I own.
He responded right away, and I jus ...

wtb 10 string practice board. New or used. Pickup not necessary, but will consider one that has a pickup.

Sonny,
I built a lap steel out of pine ( first attempt ). I wanted the wood grain to show thru, so I used leather dye to stain it. It did not raise the grain, but if you overlapped strokes with the a ...

John,
Thanks for the tab for Can't Help Falling In Love.
Very nicely done. Thanks for sharing.

The web site says the picks are pre - order, which means when she gets enough orders to help defray the costs , she will order them and ship them out.
I'll bet if you order a bunch of them, she will ...

Jim was recommended by several forum members, and I am looking forward to meeting him.

As far as help goes, I'll take all the help I can get Very Happy

I am surprised that no one mentioned Dewitt Scott's book Deluxe Pedal Steel Guitar Method. Is it a little too advanced ?

Just for the record, I do dabble with the 6 string, but only know enough to ...

Could someone suggest a course or books for a beginner?

Assume that I have no musical background, am 70 years old, and will not be playing out.
Thanks in advance

I thought so too. I don't know much about steels, but I am mechanically inclined and after seeing pics of the underside, something didn't look quite right. That and the fact that there were 2 strings ...

I have a chance to buy a stage one 3 x 3 in like new condition. Can a 4th knee be added , and will I really need it to learn ?
Any idea of the value ?
