| Does anyone know who might make and sell the type of lever lock like is used for E9 to B6 Dropping the 4th and 8th strings and locking them.. I need that type of mechanism for my C6 neck to raise the low 9, 8 and 7 strings each a whole tome making them G, B and D which , along with pedal 7 will give me all the noted of a G tuned Dobro . |

No answer for the lever lock, but I did what you want to do to get the dobros tuning. I have my pedal 7 on a knee lever and I lower 6 to D, lower 7 to B, and lower 8 to G. Combining the lever with the pedal gives me G tuning from string 3 to 8. Been doing this for years. Works OK, but not as well as I hoped. I also have a pedal next to the pedal you want to do that lowers string 5 to F to get a 7th, and raises 1 from D -D# for an Aug 5th note. My tuning is on my website.

| Talk to Bill or Tim Rudolph at Williams Guitar Co. Theirs is a short, tight lever under the center of the guitar. You can put it on any pulls you want. I have it on three Williams guitars but should work on any all pull guitar. It works well. |
