I thought it would be interesting to see what you've heard some call a pedal steel when they couldn't quite think of "pedal steel guitar." I've heard "pedestal" guitar as well as "table steel." Any other interesting "aliases"??

My neighbor's Cuban father says it's called a "piano guitar" in Spanish.
I've also heard people on this forum call it a "chick magnet." As a woman, I must say, that is completely true. LOL.[This message was edited by Adrienne Clasky on 20 July 2006 at 04:23 PM.] |

| Petal steel, keyboard, lap steel....all of which make no sense to me, although I think petal steel is a cool name, an oxymoron. |
