Hello there, Can anyone help me please. I have just got one of these pedal steels but have got no manual or any idea how to set the thing up. What I could really do with is some pictures of one that is set up right so I can see the angle of the string bars and the screw positions on the end stop in particular.
Would be really grateful for any help.
I've got it set on a E7 tuning at the moment.
Regards, Andy

I have my dad's Multiharp steel that he played for many years. I have it in my music room and it still plays and sounds great!

Really nice guitar Andy, I enjoyed the visit and was very impressed with the vintage Fender amp.
I thought the tunings Bobby Lee sent you were 100% right for the style you wish to learn.

Basil,
It was really good to meet you. Thank you so much for your time and patience. You showed me a lot of interesting techniques which are going to be a big help to me.
Yes, a big thanks to Bob for his tunings and for sending the strings so quickly too. I really appreciate all your help.
I'll be in touch soon.
All best wishes, Andy
