Jeff,
Buddy Emmons is to steel guitar, what Albert Einstein was to astrophysics and relativity,___a genius.
I don't know of a CD which he recorded that is exclusively non-pedal; but locate the one on which he plays "That's The Hawaiian In Me." You'll love the sound.

| That's the 'White' album (with Buddy's hands arched by a rainbow). He does a medley tracing the history of the steel - starting with Dobro, then electric, and later the adding of pedals. Fantastic! |

I may be wrong on this but,I believe,Buddy is playing some "non-pedal" on his 1st Step One album. ("Swingin' From The 40's Thru The 80's". Step One Records # SOR-0003) He's doin',"S.G.R.","Panhandle Rag","Okla. Stomp",etc. BTW,this is a DOUBLE album. Check it out,see if I'm right. (or,God forbid,wrong.) 
You,also,might wanna check out,Ray Price's, "The Heart Of Country Music",also on Step One (SOR-0019). Buddy plays some GREAT Dobro on the WHOLE album. This is,ALSO,a double album.

The thing that always amazed me about Buddy's playing throughout the years has been his consistency and the fact that his standards always come in at the "Great" level or above.
It would be real nice to have a non-pedal
Hawaiian album from him. I'm sure it would
end up being another classic.

On the CD reissue of "Steel Guitar Jazz" they have a few non-pedal numbers from when he was in Jimmy Dickens's band. He's about 18 years old and almost nobody could touch him then.
"High school jazz band solos" he he he. I find this funny for another reason, but I'll hold my tongue. |

I believe "Buddy's Boogie" and "Flint Hill Special" were non pedal tunes.

| Yeah well, I'm not qualified to say "HOW it was done", but they were cut on the pedal steel. Still, I'd say those recordings with Dickens ( and bunch of tunes with Faron Young and Curtis Gordon cut in the 50's ) showcase Buddy's non pedal work very well, most of it was played without the "help" of pedals anyway. Of course it's not Hawaiian though. |

I've always found this fascinating...
Before he went to pedals, Buddy devised a special tuning to get that classic E to A pedal change sound.
Ingenious!

Jeff, I agree.
That is the most authentic pedal sound without pedals....bar none. I do not have to
even try that to appreciatel it!!
I think a Hawaiian album by Buddy without the Ukes in just an easy listening format
would be really something!!
