It's an all knee-lever steel guitar. I call it my kneewaian steel guitar.I'am a member in two
Hawaiian steel guitar club's.Each club has a convention during the year which I go too and play Hawaiian music. Who ever wants to play on stage gets a half-hour. Some years
back I got the idea of doing my tuning's on knee levers instead of pedals.The Hawaiian's
use the triple neck Fenders a lot and they are back and forth on the three necks during the song's that they play.
Since I've played in country band's thru the year's with pedal-steel ,I'll just put their tuning's on knee-levers and won't have too jump necks like they do.I would'nt need but two knee -levers but since I played C-6th with five pedals and knees why not put some of
those also on knees.
My knee-lever steel is a GFI 10 string with a pad on the back with 10 knees.6 knees on
my left leg and 4 knees on my right leg.I don't know how to do things on this Tablet yet because I never had to use one in my work, My daugher's told me to get one so I could
talk to other steel players on the Forum.It's the best thing that ever happened to Steel guitar Thanks to b0B. Keep on Pickin. Don
