| OK, after doing a litle research I guess a number of steel players (including Tom Brumley) did indeed tune to Eb., esp. in the "old days". I actually seem to recall this now, I went through ... | |

Then a ZB Custom D-10 (Billy Knowles rebuild) which I sold on ... |

| Wow. This is now the 4th logo I’ve seen on the front of Derbys (being number #27, I also assume the first). And check out the all-white fret markers! Really cool, Larry! | |
