Richard,
Another good post young man, but just curious:
Where do you get all these different Pedal Steels
from ?? So far with your work posts on the forum,
the push/pull sound is my favorite, but you do a good job
on all of them.

Nice one Richard. Phillip, Rich has 3 steels. The Emmons, a "Denley" and a tasty ZB which he has modded and the pedal and knee action is the best I've tried on a ZB, I had one years ago. Hey Richard, that double lower you fitted to my Carter universal last friday works a treat. I know it is a heavy action because I call you the "SPRING" man, and that is some spring on there, but at least the semi-tone lower on the 2nd string is positive!!! and no overshoot. Thanks a bunch for doing it. Meee's thinking about any other mods you can do for me. It was well worth the drive up to you!!!

Micky !!
Good to read your post -- I had a feeling that there was much more to Richard than he was letting on to.
Evidently, he is a Steel maker as well as a good Steel player.
It's been a joy to follow this young mans efforts on the forum, and what a testimony to him, from a great player like you.
the old gringo, Phillip. |

To all on the forum who think that looks scary under that ZB of Richard's, I can testify I've tried the action and it "really" plays smooth as butter.
I personally don't care what it looks like underneath to the sceptics that may question it, but it's the playing "FEEL" that matters first and foremost!!
