Cool Marty. I think the E to F# change on a lever independent of the B to C# change works great. Hit the lever with the AB pedals and you've got the old BC pedals minor chord. Let me know what you think if you try it out.

this is what I was trying to do by dropping the the 9th and 7th strings to B and E.

Good catch, Fred. I fixed the typo. And thanks for having a look at my weirdo copedent.

Thanks so much for the reply, Ian. You explained it perfectly.

https://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix2203/10277_Pauls_Copedent_2_2.jpg Updated: 1. Bye bye BC pedal minor chord -- I did away with the C pedal (the minor chord pedal when using BC). I did want to keep the C pedal's 4th string change-- the E to F# raise. So I put it on the LKV. When I step on A an...

I'm experimenting with some ideas on my E9 copedant. I'm trying to set up a tuneable split on the 4th string. It'd look like this. C pedal... E to Eb X lever... E to F# C + X ... E to F My question is: does the tuneable split rod attach to a bellcrank on the X lever cross shaft or the C pedal cross ...

Ok cool, Tucker. Thanks for the clarification. And also thanks for clearly spelling out the orientation. Half the time people are discussing bell cranks and changers, it always seem ambiguous which orientation they're talking about!

Daniel Lanois plays a sorta avante garde non traditional pedal steel style. Daniel Lanois is a famous producer who did a couple of records with Bob Dylan, U2, and others. You can see him play steel if you look it up on Youtube.

I have an all pull Carter S-10. On the changer there are 4 raise holes and 2 lower holes. I always have to relearn this but I think I understand how the leverage principles work on the raises: (in the below scenario, the guitar is in normal playing orientation, feet on the floor) 1. on the bellcrank...

Thank you, Jon. That worked... I want to set up another split tuning. 5th string A pedal: B to C# X lever: B to Bb A + X : B to C Do I add a rod to the A pedal bell crank or do I add a rod to the X lever bell crank? I'm thinking the rule might be that the new rod will attach to the bellcranks pulls ...

I'm trying to add a split tuning on my Carter S-10. The split tuning is a common one. 6th string 1. B pedal, G# to A 2. RKL, G# to F# 3. B pedal and RKL together G# to G I've read a lot about setting up a split tuning on SGF and elsewhere but the one piece of information I'm missing is this: I'm goi...

Thanks for looking the speaker sold, late last night. It was sold to the first person who reached out to me and paypal'd me. Thank you for looking. Bob, steelguitarforum listing fee on the way shortly.

Speaker sounds great. Weighs 9 pounds. 8 Ohm Here is the link to the data sheet on the speaker: www.audiovideoparts.com/disegni/SIC8294.pdf https://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix2203/10277_sica_5_2.jpg https://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix2203/10277_sica3_2.jpg Here's a couple of photos of the sp...

Good advice all around. Thanks folks.

Okay DAP glue. If I don't need to clean the old glue off, then maybe I'll just apply the new glue to the six inch length of laminate that's peeling off, instead of removing the whole thing.

The laminate on my Carter S10 is peeling off the aluminum frame. Can someone advise me on what the best way to fix this is? I think I need advise on a product to remove the old glue and then advise on a good glue product to attach laminate to aluminum. Thank you. https://bb.steelguitarforum.com/user...

well that was easy. thanks, patrick!

I wanted to tune my E9 down to an A9 with the appropriate gauge strings. This is for a musical experiment.

So:
10...9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1
E....G...A...B...C#..E...A...C#..G#..B

Anybody have any recommendations for string gauges?

cool thanks!

I'm going to the big island in Hawaii and wondered if there might be any steel guitar museums or live music I should check out. Thanks. Hopefully, this is the right section to post in...

Sold thanks

All functions work great except: the calibration function is off by 1hz so that when you play a 440 hz tone it reads as 439 hz. Normally, the calibration on this tuner allows you to calibrate from 435 - 445 hz. But on this tuner the calibrator is off so unfortunately you can only calibrate from 435 ...

Haha, I don't know what the heck happened there. But please delete.
