Thanks for looking at the guitar and commenting on my efforts. Damir, right you are, I don't have anything in my kitchen that looks like that. Thanks Terry, congrats on your efforts- I still need to ...

The secret of great instrument tone depends on the moment the tree is cut. Just before that great tree falls, does the cutter say Timber.... or TIMBRE! http://steelguitarforum.com/wink.gif

Thank you all for the kind words,
Gene, no offense taken. Thank you Frank. I like your reference to iron- I like it too. Titanium is great but very hard to work with and very expensive. Bill Moore, ...

Well B0b, we leased the guitar to RR because we couldn't ask a reasonable price and recover the costs of the ONE that I made. So, in about two years what's left of it might be for sale http://steel ...

Howdy all- Thanks for the questions. Dennis O, It is finally working and with Robert somewhere. He used it to record a couple of songs on his new album. One of them is the old gospel standard "Nob ...

Chas, for me your music is beautiful and moving, more classical than ambient. My .02 is that enjoying it requires a good attention span. Many Thanks, friend.

I agree with Rick on this- serendipity. The Ricks were the first high production versions of a radically new instrument. They sound incredibly good now as they did then. Aluminum was a new materia ...

Howard, you are a bright 'light' for all of us. http://steelguitarforum.com/smile.gif It was good to meet you (and many others) in Dallas. For those who don't know, Howard was one of our first cust ...

The one and only Harmos pedal steel (S13) weighs 25 lbs. out of the case. Since the body weighs less than a pound, most of the weight is down low. Having a wider stance also helps with stability. R ...

Thanks for your kind words, Andy. I've been off of the forum for a while, (busy) but am happy to be back. I appreciate those who turn their vison into reality. Once it is out there, it has to survi ...

Thanks for telling me about that, Jeff. It is good to hear. I wish I could hear Bobby play it in person- Heck, I wish I could hear him play anything in person!

Howdy Jeff- you must have played one of the first models with all of the controls on the end- since then we have moved the volume up to the top. You can see it in the bottom lefthand picture from t ...

That's a sweet bus, Mikey- beautiful work. I probably should just keep it to "steel guitar", but when I get my syncro westy fixed up I'll be tempted to post pictures as well. I might have to put str ...

Thanks, guys. Yup, the Dymaxion steel. I don't mind the ugly comment too much, as Bucky Fuller said- The rose is not beautiful because it worries about style, it is beautiful because it is what it ...

A great thread, all. First, I'll get the known out of the way. If it sounds good, it is good. What we hear as good sound is made (mostly) by the hands of the player. That said, we will always stri ...

Howdy Rick- that would be cool but I don't know if it would fit with the frame clearance that I have. I actually started talking with Jason about that a year ago, but his other pickups are so good t ...

The convention was great, it was my 2nd. My only regret is that I didn't spend more time listening to the music, or jamming afterwards. Next year, I'll correct that- I'll pull together enough tunes ...

Thanks Howard- I look forward to meeting you in person as well someday. Getting to meet your Benoit brainchild was a good introduction, though!
