The Steel Guitar Forum

Thanks for all the replies, I did one of those mail order trials on 2 different violins and found a very nice one that i kept. Not sure if i can mention the dealer if it's allowed by forum rules, but anyway i got a good outfit for a very reasonable price without leaving the house. thanks again for t...

I am thinking of getting back into playing fiddle again and was wondering if anyone had some links to reputable violin sellers? Thanks; Allen

Thats a nice looking axe. is it emmons or day setup and do you know what year it was made? thanks; Allen

BCT is body contact technology, it's my understanding that it is to reduce cabinet drop detuning, but others here could probably tell you much more about it. nice looking guitar

hi i'd like to order another pair of the black coated nationals if there still available. my cat ate one thanks Allen

I'm still a newbie but my advice is to read as much here as you can check the links on this page also for the dealers nationwide to get an idea about prices and take your time. That way you may have a little more money saved to get the guitar you like. It will have decent resale value also if you ba...

Hi IM looking for some istruction for a beginner in the western pa area, i dont want to have to unlearn bad habits later, i' m about 40 miles east of pittsburgh. thanks: Allen

can someone suggest some learning vids or courses for pick blocking and palm blocking and the advantages of either? I don't want to develope bad habits that will be hard to break later. thanks; Allen

Fedex delivered the d10 today. i tuned it up with the three year old strings that were on it and to my ear it sounds great. didn't even have to adjust any pedals yet but im only using a and b so far. I want to thank Richard for packing the steel very well and for a smooth transaction. i also want to...

i am going to get the biab megapack and was wondering what recomendations you guys could give for an audio interface that works with your biab. Something with xlr imputs and phantom power. has anyone used the Alesis io2 or tascam us 122mkII? what is working well for you? thanks; Allen

Long term i am thinking i will build a kit form fender twin reverb head and have one or two 15 cabinets made for it . i saw someone on the forum that makes nice cabs. i'll have to search for that post. I am a definate tube amp guy, ive used them for 40 years of lead playing. i would grab a session o...

Has anyone tried their pedal steel thru a fender frontman 212 ? i was thinking about getting one until i can afford a twin reverb.

is that a double raise double lower. is it sold yet? can parts be found if needed thanks Allen

Hi; i will be looking for a d10 in a couple weeks i would like to stay under 1700 shipped to pa. the age isnt important but i want something reliable that doesn't need setup or overhauled. emmons setup 8x4 with a case. thanks: Allen

How hard would it be to come by the parts to make this a universal 12? thanks Al

being a newbie, can i ask whats the difference between an s12 universal and a 12 string extended e9th? is it just a matter of tuning. i guess what i want to know is can a 12 string be either with pedal and knee changes? im looking at an extended e9th now and was just wondering. thanks Allen

hmm ok then that is to give it the ability to play like an e9th tuning as well as a c6th? sort of a combo deal?
ive seen a couple priced within my budget but i dont want to try to learn on a beast that will fry my brains haha

hi guys; is an extended e9th 12 string just the addition of two extra strings with the basic ten being tuned the same?
