If you were able to master any other musical instrument (other than Pedal Steel), what instrument would it be?? Paul Franklin was quoted in an article a few years ago that he would choose the harmonica. His reason was that when he was done with a gig, all he would have to do is put it in his pocket and go home!
( My choice would be the piano) Your Choices?

| Kantele! That´s the only instrument on earth that sounds even sweeter than steel guitar. |

Ah, The HARP....
Most soooooothing.  I saw one played one time, and was blown away. It is played with Pedals also.
No wonder SAUL was taken back when David played a harp in his presents at the kings' Palace. |

Kantele is Finland's national instrument, much like an autoharp, but then again not. For more information, check: http//virtual.finland.fi/finfo/english/kantele.html or www.kantele.com
I have a 30 string Kantele, that my greatgrandfather built in the 40's, can't play it though, but it's beautiful and sounds huge. [This message was edited by Jussi Huhtakangas on 20 January 2003 at 05:55 AM.] |

Hammond B3, although that would be even worse to haul around.  I settle for simulating it with my IVL MIDI rig for now.

I'm with Ron, definately the Harp, I suppose I'm bias being a Welshman, but it has got to be one of the most beautiful sounds there is.
Cheers

| Forgot to mention, in some ways the Harp is related to the Steel, it too has pedals that change the pitch. |

Marimba. It's my 2nd-favorite sound.
I'm moving this topic to the "Steel Players" section of the Forum.
