| Add me, '54 Gibson Consolette. Also, never use pedals on the C6 neck on my Sho-Bud Professional, and I play that neck 75% of any given gig. So I guess that makes me "three-quarters no-peddler" Sound like an old racecar term or something. |

| I play pedal steel[for the money] but my first love is non pedal. I have a 8 string supro that I play mostly and a triple neck stringmaster,and and old Oahu. I have given my daughter several. Two bakelite Rick's. a 36 and a 48. also a double supro with a chord changer and two mint New Yorkers, with matching amp.and a Oahu.I wish there was a convention of non pedal players. Garland Nash |

Self teaching myself after a 35 year break from playing is hard enough without finding the gas and brake pedals.
I now have 3 steels (since Nov 2000), the first is an O body student acoustic guitar built in the 20s, it was fine to start. then I came across a 1959 Supro Console, black and white like the one I had as a kid, only it was a 6 string, not at eight. Good tone and lots of fun in a "low hawaiian A". Then I found another O body acoustic called a "Golden Hawk" amazing sustain and beautiful tone, tune to C6th this guitar almost makes me think I can play again. |

Began playing lap steel about 55 years ago. Put it aside for about 35 years. Began playing again about 5 years ago. My preference:
8 string Sierra lap steel
Rick Bakelite 6 string
Frypan
I also own a couple of pedal steels, including a Cartuer U-12 (8 + 5) and a mid-seventies MSA U-12 (5 + 5). Three amps: Peavey 500, Peavey Nashville 400, and a Marshall JCM900. All great amps, but for the lap steel the Marshall has that "all tube" sound.
Lap steel is my first love.

'57 Fender Stringmaster Dual-8
'58 Fender Deluxe amp
'64 Fender Tube Reverb
'54 Fender Champ amp
(I also have a '66 Tele and a '63 Strat with.....no pedals! Guess I like those Fenders.) And a '68 Deluxe Reverb amp, but my steel sounds best with the tweed amps in my opinion.[This message was edited by RonC on 31 May 2001 at 03:34 PM.] |

| Add me to the list of those who pedaled for many years and in late middle life discovering non-pedal. Been playing Sierra U12 with very little pedal action. C#M9, A6, B11, E9 and B6. A Fender Professional T8 will arrive in a few days. Have Oahu Diana which is one sweel sounding instrument. Let's keep Hawaiian music and culture alive. |

I have been side tracked with pedals for a while but now I am back with non-pedals to stay. The sound that got me started in the first place was non-pedal.Fender 1000 w/o the pedals E13& A6. Dobro E homegrown lap E.

After many years of bottleneck playing I switched to steel about a year and a half ago.
Silvertone (Valco) 6 string (C6)
Gibson Consolette (C6, E13)
new Regal w/Quarterman cone and spider (G6)
Rickenbacher D16 (C6, G6)
All my "regular" guitars are tuned to open E.
I'd never had any interest in pedals until I saw Gordon Stone play jazz on one. I'm interested, but it looks way to complicated.
