Ed Naylor made one for a friend of mine's grandson in Lubbock- Skip T(annery)- that was a few years back maybe he's outgrown it by now.
I don't know if Skip woul want to sell it.
Skip is a forum member so you could ask him[This message was edited by Ron Castle on 10 May 2006 at 02:48 AM.] |

I asked Skip about his (he lives in town).
Yeah, I've thought about it.
Anything to be different.  |

I know Dave Peddicord (DeLand, FL) had a 3/4 sized MSA (a RED Baron, I believe) for his son. It looked exactly like the standard guitar, but was lowered by about 6", and I believe it was shorter, as well. I don't know whether MSA made it, or Dave had one modified, but it was pretty cute!  |

There is someone at the steel shows that always exhibits a minature pedal steel-guitar, but I can't remember who it is.
Would someone help me out on this? (and my apology for not remembering who it is.)

There was a ZB student guitar that had the legs and pedal rods cut down to about 18" at the old Valley Arts store in the late 70's. Full size body that sat at coffee table height off the floor.

| Back in the mid '60s, there was a player at the old Ozarks Club, in D.C., that had a very small pedal steel. It was home-built, and the string length seemed around 20". It had a very unique sound, kinda "chimey" and bell-like, like an old Rhodes Celeste. I can't remember the player's name, but I played one set on the thing, and it was great for "Mooney sounds"! The sustain was, of course, very limited, but then again, so is that of a classical guitar. Lack of sustain isn't necessarily a bad thing...it's just a different sound. |

| There's a little bitty steel at Scotty's. It was set up at the convention last year with the stuffed bear. Maybe Michael can post a picture. |

| Don't waste your money on kid-sized instruments. They grow out of them in a couple of years. Train kids on full-sized instruments. I have kid instruments in cases that have never been opened. |
