Nice work. The only nitpicking I could do is to say that the correct spelling is "Dopyera", not Doperya.

Funny you mention that Mike. I actually did a google search on the name as I was writing it to get the correct spelling and the site it sent me to had it spelled that way. I actually cut and pasted it.

Actually if you do a google search on the way I spelled it, you'll find it is a common misspelling of the name.

I've told them to correct it.

Traditional Steel Guitar manufacturers such as MSA and Sierra have now been pushing the envelope with exciting and newly designed lap steel models which have re-invigorated the market.

I fixed it for ya!

Bill-- nice job on your introductory column! If your future efforts are as clear, comprehensive, accurate, & enthusiastic as this, you'll have no trouble maintaining the interest of steelers & non-steelers alike...& probably making a few converts along the way.

Bill, I have an S8 & S12 Sierra. Be my guest if you want to give them a whirl. Actually, I have several steels that you'd be welcome to review.
