This is a pull/release changer and set up perfectly, the RKL raises the F#'s to G.

I bought a guitar from Dave about a year ago and it was exactly as represented.
I bought a pull-release changer operated sho-bud permanent from Tommy White two years ago so my message to the forum is this---you will be amazed at the way the pedal feel of a pull release changer will add to the amount of musical expression that your feet can add to your playing! |

I have bought/sold/played all brands since 1973 and IMHO this Marlen blows a Sho-Bud away in tone, playability, quality of workmanship, appearance...what else can I say.

I know a little of the history of this steel. The previous owner (with whom I have been in contact) went to great lengths to ensure maximum feel and playability in the changer. He added small springs to the pedal-rods where they engage the bellcranks to give smoother engagement, and significantly improved the adjustment system for the tension-rods (that also do the lowers).
Also of note is the changer-fingers are the 6-hole design which mean all the pull-rods runs straight to the changer without the slight bend required in Marlens with the 4-hole changer-fingers (the bend is needed to clear the cross-shaft for the RKR change if it is fitted). This results in no flexing of the pull-rods as a change is engaged.
Basically, this is one super-playable Marlen with the usual tone. Many say Marlen tone is midway between a p/p Emmons and a Sho-Bud. That's one heck of a good starting-point for a player.
This steel is very simple to understand (far, far simpler than an all-pull changer) and would suit a beginning player who wants a steel that is well in advance of the "student" models. You won't outgrow this instrument. Don't worry about the lack of a 5th lever (LKV) - there is a lifetime of music in E9th 3X4.
Experienced players will already realise the potential in this steel. For someone starting out, this is a real bargain.
The only problem is...I already have a beautiful Marlen D10!

Jay is correct about the pedal feel of those "pull release" Marlens. Puts you deeply in touch with the response !
The one I owned,(73 D10) sounded somewhere between an Emmons, and a Sho-Bud, as stated by Ned.
Once you get those "pull release" changers set up, they stay in tune, and don't break strings.
Like many guys, I sell everything, and look back, and wish I kept it !
It didn't have THAT beautiful finish, though !
Did I mention, I can vouch for Dave's integrity as a salesman ?
He's One of the good guys
