It looks very interesting. I think it would need to demonstrate big advantages over palm pedals to get traction in the marketplace. I guess if it include palm pedals and a couple knee levers it would probably be a pretty decent alternative to a pedal steel guitar. Thinking about a player who travels a lot by air—this might be fantastic as a carry-on gigging steel guitar.

One advantage a knee lever has is that it can be actuated in both directions to both raise and lower a string.
On my Jackson Slide King, I could use an E lower and a E to F# change to complete the E major scale. |

| I like the position of the palm lever. It looks like you have more pick control when engaging it. More finger independence than the usual palm levers. Cool idea! |

| Cool idea! Would like it more if they made a stand for it. |
