The Steel Guitar Forum

Is there a hearing aid that will give a person their tones back? I lost my tones a little over 3 years ago and my guitar sounds like it is out of tune.

Merle was the best. I am glad that I have a good collection of his long play albums and CD's.
Thoughts and prayers for his family.

On this same subject let me tell you about an experience that I had a few years ago. I have a good friend that had lost his hearing tones and we were at his home for a jam session. He was playing rhythm and another friend was playing lead. We go a very loud feedback from one of our amps and my frien...

Thanks John and Donny for your replys..Yes I went to my family doctor when this happened and he recommended a hearing specialist. I told him that I wanted the best. He sent me to an ENT. When the ENT checked my hearing he said that the only answer was hearing aids...The hearing and balance doctor in...

Thanks Larry for your reply..I have tried everything as far as my hearing aids and nothing seems to help..... Of all the players on this Forum there's surely someone else that has had this problem and I was wondering if they found a solution or if they just gave up.

I have been playing steel over well over 40 years. I lost my tones almost 3 years ago and haven't been able to play since. My guitar sounds out of tune. I was wondering if anyone else on here has had this problem or know of anyone else that has and if there is a solution. I have got hearing aids but...

If I was smart on these computers I would post a picture on the Super-Pro but I'm not. I thought someone might give me a general idea of what it is worth without a picture.

I lost a good griend some time back. He had a Sho-Bud Super-Pro twin 10 with 8 floors and 3 knees. It is black with George L pickups. A nice guitar. This dear lady has no idea what this guitar is worth. She lives near Dayton,Ohio.....Whats it worth???

With my hearing aids I can hear a lot better than I did before the problem started. Since I have lost my tones most but not all music and singing sounds out of tune or off pitch.

It's bad, real bad. Over 6 months since I have been able to play. I ran into a hearing problem and lost my tones. My guitar sounds completely out of tune. I am wearing hearing aids but still don't have my tones. The doctor says he thinks I might get the tones back. I have had adjustments on the aids...

Tony I really appreciate you offfering to send me a DVD copy of the of the recording that you made but I just found out that my son recorded the funeral and he is going to make me a copy. Thanks again for the offer.

Thanks Tony, when you get around to watching the recording that you made are you planning on putting it on the Forum?
I'll bet that there are a lot of people that didn't get to see it would love to.

I was unable to watch the George Jones funeral. I would really like to see a complete video. Does anyone know where I should look to find it? I would appreciate any help.. Thanks

I have been playing steel for almost 44 years. For over 3 weeks now I can't tell one chord from the other. I went to my doctor and he said that I had an ear infection and he gave me an anti-biotic. Since that didn't help I went back and he gave me a stronger anti-biotic and a shot. He said that he w...

Thanks Jack, for the info. You are right the noise is more on the plus side. On the minus side there is little or no noisse. But why should I get a loud pop when I touch the handle bracket? Would this be caused by static electricity? I have the amp on sitting in my garage. After wealking around in t...

Thanks Steve for your reply but the amp does not have a screen in the top. I thought the pot might be dirty so I sprayed it with tuner cleaner but that didn't solve the problem. It seems to be a ground problem. Like I said I can touch the handle bracket with one hand and touch the metal part of the ...

I have a problem with my Nashville 400. If I turn the MID up I get a rushing sound. The farther I turn it up the rushing sound gets louder. Another thing, if I leave it on and walk around in the house, I can touch the metal end of the hadnle on the right side of amp and I get a loud pop. If I touch ...

Thanks Jim. I found one Ken Davis listed in the phone directory in Vandalia. I'll check and see if that would be him.

Just wondering if anyone out there would know a steeler by the name of Ken Davis? I ordered my new ZB at the "Dearth Guitar Studio" in Lima, Ohio back in 1968. Ken was the owner of the business at that time but I checked and was informed that there's no longer a business by that name in Li...

Hey Kevin, I do appreciate your reply to my post relating to my ZB. I couldn't remember the date that I order my guitar but I did order it through "Dearth Guitar Studio" in Lima, Ohio and I would say that date is correct also. I still own the guitar and play it about every day. Again, than...

I got my new ZB about May of 1969 and the srial
number on my guitar is #1138. I got the guitar about
8 or 9 months after I ordered.

Hey Larry do you still have the Nashville 112? Are you still interested in a Nashville 400? I happen to live in Ky just north of Nashville and I have a nice 400 that has had the tone module installed by Peavey. I might be interested in trading for a nice NV112. I'm not getting any younger and I like...

I have a Franklin S/10,3&5 that Paul built for me in 1981 and I also have a ZB that I had built in 1969 and after I got my Franklin I had Paul take all the mechanical parts off the ZB and install all his parts on the ZB. I have never had a real desire to own any other guitar. I feel that Paul Fr...
