Here is another lap steel at Abbey Road - Jim Mortimore (who plays double bass in my trio) in Studio 2 ("the Beatles room"). He borrowed my 1947 National New Yorker for this session.

To keep this totally on topic, Jim has actually worked with David Gilmour (and played Fender Stratocaster # 001 Cool

).

Fred,

Nice pic, thanks.

Trivia: I worked at EMI Abbey Road in 1973 and installed a big Neve desk in Studio (#?) but I remember the Beatles room vividly. PF were recording DSOTM then but I had to clear out before they came in (they recorded after 5 pm) as no staff engineers were allowed to listen to what they did. I was not into lap steel at the time.

Kay,

I think they still have a Neve desk at Abbey Road – I wonder if it is the same one?

And speaking of Pink Floyd, lap steel and desks – I recorded and mixed two songs on my album in Stockholm using a desk that used to belong to Pink Floyd. They custom ordered the desk and used it on “Animals” and part of “The Wall”. You can see this desk in this video trailer for my album:
