Fellas, unfortunately for me, I only have computer access at work, so, sorry for the delayed response.
With a little work I managed to figure out the problem. It seems that the hex screw, connecting the pull rods to the cross rod was loose. This gave me no raises and lowers on my 4th E. Being new (3 months) I hesitated,(panicked) but frustration caused me to experiment, and I was sucessful. (this time).
I live in Bricktown, just a few miles from the shore. |

| John Widgren, in Wilton CT, is superb on steel setup and repair. He is a professional refinisher and fantastic setup and adjustment mechanic--not to mention also being a great player. A nicer, more decent guy you could never meet. |

Thanks for the inside info Rob.
Thank you, John, for the offer. I will keep it in mind.
At this time my playing is moving along slowly, but in the future I would like to have the Marlen re-done top and bottom. I've fallen in love with the old beast, and as I progress, I would like to keep her, and put her in top shape.(rather than upgrade)I love the maple, "wood lacquer" look and sound. Plus a part of steel history lies in the fact that Leonard probably built it with his own hands. Not a factory "knock out." Some of the greatest steel sounds,IMHO, came from the 60's and 70's,and this one, and a few others,(sho-bud,emmons,etc)were the types they used on those great recordings. Playing it,(levers,pedals) requires a certain personal feel to get the exact notes you want,unlike modern ones that require less of a personal feel to acquire the right pitch. Only my humble opinion however, since I'm just a rookie. |
