I have a like-new (not a scratch on it) Bob Allen 8-string lap steel, made of cypress with a Lawrence 705 pickup. Comes with case and everything it shipped with. Incredible sound, just downsizing my music room a little so a few have to go. Asking $350 + shipping. https://s22.postimg.cc/e749ve8gh/DCP...

You can back up the clip to the beginning of the entire show, but I thought I'd leave this link here fast-forwarded to her solo in "I'm Not Feeling It Anymore". Flat-out incredible...

I have a Cypress Pro-8 finishing up anytime now. This is my first Melbert, but after reading everyone's opinion on his work I have no doubt it is a fine instrument.

We do this on a Cajun accordion forum I frequent, so I figured I'd try it out here and see what we get. Basically, I take a song and provide everyone with a link so they can hear the song as many times as they like (usually via Youtube). Participants have a limited amount of time to record themselve...

I have my order in on am 8-string Melbert Pro 8 made of cypress and a Lawrence 705 pickup. I knew for certain I wanted an 8-str, and I have always heard good things about the Lawrence 705 pickups (new and old) from the other Cajun pedal steel players down here so I went with those. It will be played...

A buddy of mine needs to make some room for another pedal steel he has on order and just brought a Sho-Bud Maverick over. He had 2 identical ones but I bought one off of him yesterday...this is the other. 10 string, 3 pedal, 1 knee. Everything works fine and comes with the black carrying case. It is...

Byron, you might want to wait and get in touch with some of the La. players first. The cajun tuning is a valid one and can be used on your guitar. Daniel Cormier, Murnel Babineaux, Marty Broussard et al. can offer you some insight on the tuning and string gauges you asked about. They're all on the ...

Thanks Craig. Yes, I just checked the model and serial number and it's a 1975 Maverick (I know, I know...but I'm just beginning). I have a few more questions and I think I'll be able to get started playing today. 1) So I need to get a set of E9th strings and just tune accordingly. When tuning, I've ...

I just just got an old Sho-Bud 10-string 3-pedal 1-knee. I have a few questions: The guy I bought it from gave me an extra pack of strings with it because he said he didn't know how old the strings on it were. The strings he gave me were GHS Boomers C6th Tuning. First problem I had was the 10th, 9th...
