The Steel Guitar Forum

Very funny to read :D So others "were allowed" to have such "great" experiences with television *haha* :lol: Oh... another band called "Peacemaker"... I've already seen that the name is not so rare now. Back then it was still relatively "innovative" ... but no...

That pleases me! Thx Terry!

Larry... Thx, and yes, young and full of joy! ;-) Duane... Thx, I appreciate it! ;-) The video production... As I said, it was a show from a TV station. Many artists were there. But even the moderator of the show was soooo bad :? ;-{ And, as I said, the technology... and the camera work... * AAaaah...

Some time ago I sent an inquiry to MSA about spare parts for a pre-85 Steel. First to Mitchell, and then, 1 week later, another to Kyle. To date, I have not received a response or any sign of life from MSA. I also find that a lack of communication is very bad, very annoying and not particularly trus...

In my case, I have not asked for a refund of deposit since I plopped it down with a 10-11 month wait in mind. However if I was misquoted an expectation and it actually is projected to take closer to 24 months it would be nice to know and then I might decide to start a request for the refund of $150...

Thx Bob ! Yes, I loved this guitar! :D Oh, you know Berlin WITH the wall? Then you got to know the "real, true" Berlin! Back then Berlin was still Berlin ... After the wall fell, Berlin drastically lost its old flair. Don't get me wrong ... We are very happy about the fall of the Berlin Wa...

Howdy folks, I found funny things: it was a long, long time ago ... It must have been 1988 or '89 (under the video it says 1992 - but that's not true!). A friend from the UK recently discovered it on the Internet and sent me the link. Until then I didn't know that there was this on the Net :-D The r...

Thx again Bobby!

HA! I did it! :D :D :-D Last night, while I was trying to fall asleep, I came up with an :idea:. Today I went straight to try it. Before that, I told my Steel to make an effort and work after the attempt ... otherwise it goes on a journey ... by flight out of the window... :\ My idea was to swap bo...

Jim , that´s good ideas... But, before I started to remove the front plate... ... Jon ´s tip came in. And then I covered my head with my hand ... Logical! Why didn't I think of that myself? Sometimes you are blind to the simplest of things. So, Jon : THAT´s it!!! It fits! Thx for this tip!!! :D ...

YESSS !!! The delivery of the Allen keys I had ordered arrived today, but earlier than expected :D . Of course I had to try it out immediately. Yes, it is - as I already assumed - the 1/16. Great! So, let's go ... solve the problem. And... I can´t believe it... Exactly THAT screw on the Steel is kn...

Oh Bobby , thank you very much for the time you have invested in checking this! Great forum here, with a bunch of lovely people who really care. That is really to be appreciated! It's a bit difficult for me to describe how it is with my Steel. I already said ... my English ;-) So afterwards I'll tak...

Yes, Al, they are the only ones in this size. I have all the others I need. Just not this one. Yesterday I ordered a set of inch screw drivers from ebay (here in germany we have mm sizes), where the needed one should be included. But they shouldn't arrive until next Tuesday ... So that means wait an...

Very, very nice!!! Wish u a LOT of fun with it and many great inspirations!

Thx 4 it! Yes, it is... And I LOVE it!

Mike,
thx 4 ur tip! But I tried a lot with the rod lenght and the settings of the bell cranks. Those were the very first things I tried. But, regardless of what settings I made, the problem always remained the same.

Jim, why I have this never-had-before-problem: I've only have this Steel since the end of last year. In the 80s, I had exactly the same model that I was on many stages with. Unfortunately, I had to sell them in the 90s. Stupid way :-( For many years I have been looking for "my old" Steel ...

Jim, Jerry ... Thank you both for your super quick reply! :-D To Jim: I've checked and the return spring doesn't pull when the C pedal is pressed. So that's probably not the reason. There must be another reason why it could be. But thank you for your consideration! # Also- anytime that happens- bac...

Hello Folks, Mike here... From Germany... (a new face here in the forum) And here's another one ;-) I've only had this one since the end of last year (Dec 2020). In the 80s, I had exactly the same model that I was on many stages with. Unfortunately, I had to sell them in the 90s. Stupid way: - (( Fo...

A friendly howdy to everybody and hello folks from good ol´germany, my name is Mike... again a new face here ... so please understand if things don't go so smoothly at the beginning ;-) By the way... Unfortunately, after many years of not speaking my English is not really good anymore ... but I hop...
