The Steel Guitar Forum

Sometimes a quest for information can lead to loss. There are
gr-inches who will snipe you right out of your
treasure, even on the forum.

Again-
Is this the steel that was just on ebay from Seattle?

Hi Kirk-
Is this the steel from Seattle that was just on ebay?

Sounds great Steve!
Did you use lighter gauge strings on the "pulls"-
or just sheer digit muscle?

oops -
that would be A6 tuning of course!

Dave-

That was me with Tina's twin Marilyn.

I mostly use Ay tuning sometimes C#min. 7th
for tunes like Hula Blues

Thanks James-

I just elected you a member in good standing!

Hey Norm,
I'm gonna' have to start payin' out agent fees.
Thanks again for posting and supporting my music.
See you at Mike Keale's farewell if not sooner.

Thanks so much Dave! It was great to meet you. That was quite an evening, especially when the most "dew fall" I have ever experienced landed on my precious CruzTone. (no cover for musicians outside)I had to wipe it down after each song and was truly concerned about the pick up as it is som...

Oops-

I meant CruzTone of course

Michael,

You did a fantastic job! I think you showcase your Cruzetone very well. It is always great to have
you be a part of the Santa Cruz scene - you fit right in. I am already looking forward to next year.

Hi Guys,

I took lessons when Wayne and Jerry were around in Roanoke, VA. The teacher was Elmer Ridenhour who has since passed. I may be able to get in touch with Elmer's son Jimmy who operates the music store now.

Jodi, Thanks so much. Yes it is the bass side and it looks as though the "covers" have tabs of sorts that have been possibly machine pressed to protect the mechanism? I will call Blackie before I go messing around there! Also, yes I had already found the ones on EBay, and I'll do my best t...

Thanks to Erv and John,

John or anyone - yes they are Kluson Deluxe.
Do you know though if the covers on each one (with the tiny hole) are removeable individually?

David,
Thanks for your input. It looks like "Delux"
on the side of the tuner cover. Does anyone know if there are sources to replace the unit? Am I just dreaming?

Help appreciated,

Howdy out there in steel land. I recently put new strings on my strinmaster and when
tuning up discovered the 5th string tuner is slipping. Is there a way to get inside of that one tuner?

Thanks,
Patti Maxine

Hi David,

Happy Trails,

Howdy Steelers, I just came across your discussions of Wayne Newton - the steel and Elmer Ridenhour. I was taking lessons from Elmer at the same time. I was born in Roanoke. Wayne and Jerry were always a bit "ahead" of their musical time I believe in part from the "push" and enco...

Howdy All, I recently purchased a dbl 6 Iolana, yellow, MOTS and am wondering about the attachments on the underside, which I assume are for some kind of stand. It almost looks like furniture legs could screw into the bottom pieces. Is this original? Any chance of finding a stand. Patti Maxine -----...
