Does anyone know what setup Jimmie Crawford was using later in his life?
In the interview with him in Winnie Winston's Pedal Steel Guitar: A Manual of Style book, he discusses how, at that time, the push/pull mechanism was essential to him, because of the fact that raises predominate, and some of the ideas in his copedent (shown in the book) were based on that. Later, of course, he designed and played JCH all-pull guitars. This would seem to have likely led to changes in his copedent (especially since, on the basis of that interview, he was one of those players who change copedents often anyway). |

I'd like more info on what he did with the second string on the E9 neck. Tuned open to D ?
How many levers on it? |

Terry Bethel turned me on to Crawford's open D, 2nd string. One KL to raise it to D# and one KL to lower to C#. I love it as there are no more half stops. Short adjustment time and never looked back.

. . . and his last pedal (nearest the volume pedal) raised his E9th
2nd string to E (along with whatever function it had on C6th).
