The Steel Guitar Forum

Thanks for the link Mike. Interesting thread. I would add a 6th string to the one suggested by Tony Glassman and that would be to drop the 2nd string D# to a C# so that the 1st string D on the newer C6 copedent would be there.

Thanks for the input.. I decided short term I will simply use pedal 8 and tune the C to D rather that C# and move the pulls from strings 10 and 9 to 9 and 8 . Then just depress both pedal 7 and 8 to get the G and B notes . This will give me a seven string tuning of G B D E G B D and then I just boug...

Does anyone know who might make and sell the type of lever lock like is used for E9 to B6 Dropping the 4th and 8th strings and locking them.. I need that type of mechanism for my C6 neck to raise the low 9, 8 and 7 strings each a whole tome making them G, B and D which , along with pedal 7 will give...

removed the raise assist sprige as the nylon adjustment piece with the little bumpps to catch in the groove had previously been cut and cold not be lengthened. I may get a new one and reinstall putting extra slack in but fot now this seems to have done the job. Thanks for comments.

Just returned from a 2 week vacation and needed a steel guitar fix but ended up fighting to stay tuned. My Zum which I have had for about 15 months and has never given me a problem with the10th string B to C# but now is returning sharp. Recently lubricvated (3 in 1 oil)and guitar seemed fine before ...

OK thanks I had it figured out once but forgot makes sense now just need some parts

I have a Shobud ProII and have added a knee to lower Strings 3 and 6 1/2 step to G but now want to go all the way to F# on string 6 but can't figure out how to tune the combination with B pedal to get the G There is a set screw on the changer of my Zum for this but there has to be another way withou...

presently it is set up at home and like the proverbial car in the auto shop there is no problem so I cannot test it but it is beginning to appear to be A a problem that originates with a power supply issue either bad house power or something that affects the effects units and triggers a response in ...

I have a Peavey Session %00 I am using onstage and I am getting a stgrange anomaly. It startedabout a year ago wheree it would feeback at a given frequency and checking last nite seemed to be an Ab (was an A position note but we tune down a 1/2 step for the singer). I eventually thought I cured it a...

Main event is a reunion of Broken Bow a opular band late 70's into 1981 that will be just outside of Milwaukee and I am trying to schedule la jam/reunion of Midnight Flyer from same era and earlier ink the Madison area but nothing scheduled as yet. the Max time would probably be from mJuly 10-11 thr...

It is a difficult song but it is simply a function of desire. If you want it pursue it. I am hoping to have it as part of my repertoire for the SWPSGA show next year 2014. I just keep going over it again and again. break it down into parts and work that section over and over, slowly making sure your...

Thanks, great input, especially the last ones form b)b. excellant, nuthin wrong with that tone I'll keep my eyes out for another.

Thanks, couldn't really make up my mind so I let it go on ebay 14 string went for 1350 might have screwed up here but I have an Emmons student model in pieces I am refurbing so guess I will have to live with/out it!

Ecellant, I just need a few extra rods and will be ready to go!

any one have any sound bites (or links) to the sound of a Sierra breing played?

Super, that shows me what I needed to know, the total number of pulls is still limited by the number of holes but can be manipulated to alter a raise to a lower and vice versa but not add totally "extra" pulls. Neat trick kthough but won't allow ;me to what is necessarty to renovate a stee...
