The Steel Guitar Forum

I have three votes on the Morrell... no, no, and no. If you're near Austin you can come and get an 8-string for free... I'm tired of looking at it. I want to very sincerely thank Stephen for offering up an instrument for me. I have been playing this thing like a maniac for the past few days and lov...

It looks like a recording king might be just as good for my purposes, and still pretty affordable, so I might just go that route since the Rondo isn't available for a while. I want to strike while the iron is still hot. Thanks everyone for your suggestions and input. I have some money in my amazon a...

It certainly isn't for everyone!

It looks like Rondo doesn't have the model I want in stock until July, so the hunt continues.

I believe they sometimes have non-pedal and sometimes have pedal steel. Either way, they would be a good resource for who to get lessons from and ...

Thank you for the replies. I really appreciate the input on this. Would it be more advisable to get a Joe Morrell lap steel as opposed to the Rondo? I just came across a few on Amazon and they look fairly good for the price. Also, I'll take a look at those teachers in Portland. I have been to Landma...

Hi everyone, I'm looking to get a lap steel in the next few weeks and I have been digging through the many threads on this forum and I've gathered a ton of info. This is a great resource and I have already learned a lot. Since I am brand new to this instrument, I have been looking for entry level in...
