I think they should have called it a "sheet metal guitar" not a steel guitar.

Is this the one Al Petty played the "Steel Guitar Wobble" on?

Bill Hatcher · From: Atlanta Ga. USA

Cool sound.

That's cool. I use to know this group in Boston (actually Cambridge) called the Steel Cello Ensemble. They plucked and bowed wires hung from the ceiling, a big harp made from metal rods of different lengths, a big piece of sheet metal played sort of like a musical saw, etc. Their music was eery, but could be musical and beautiful.

Who woulda thunk such pretty music could emanate from that junky-looking thang? I really like it a lot!

Jim Phelps · From: Mexico City, Mexico

Looks ugly, sounds great.

Dave Mudgett · From: Central Pennsylvania and Gallatin, Tennessee

Cool design idea. It really does have a unique and cool sound.

David L. Donald · From: Koh Samui Island, Thailand

I remember the Steel Cello Emsemble.
Pretty interesting group.
No else one even slightly comes to mind,
except Chaz's unique creations.

John Bechtel · From: Nashville, Tennessee, R.I.P.

All-in all, it could/should be considered a proto-type, because; undoubtedly it could be redesigned to look as good as it sounds!

Now, if they would just raise the nut and play a sample with a bar... I can see a lot of potential with the concept.
