Try www.thomann.de they have the 10 string Carter starter for sale at 1033 Euros and as far as I know
they ship for free within the Europaean Union.

I use the Nash 1k in conjunction with The Steel Guitar Black Box and an MSA Millennium. I certainly like the sound. I also have a Fender Twin Reverb but in my opinion the Nash has a "better" sound. And yes, it can compete with a twin setup of 400`s. I would consider the 1k a safe buy but t...

Even though they`re still awesome, I kinda miss Hoot Hester in the setup. In my opinion he added something extra to the mix.

MSA Millennium.

How much more expensive would an ebony guitar be if somebody were to take up the challenge and build one? I am aware that the wood is very hard to form and it chips easily. Maybe we now are back to the discussion about the body material of a steel guitar influencing the sound of a steel guitar. I li...

Has anybody ever tried using ebony as building material for a steel?
Anybody know anything about the "tonal" qualities of ebony?

How about Dawn Sears and Carolyn Martin??

How about "You`ll never leave Harlan Alive"?

There`s a lot of good, solid country out there but you have to buy CDs to hear it.
The "Indies" make it happen.
New music in the "old style" is not hard to find.
You just have to look for it.

Hi Clive,
In 2006,The Bear Family Record company released a CD with 25 solo recordings which Bud Isaacs made for RCA in 1954-56, including the original version of Bud`s Bounce .
This CD really ought to be in every Steeler`s collection.

Thanks a lot for the videolinks.
Great they are still on the net.

When in Nashville on a Monday the Time Jumpers are an absolute must. No better entertainment anywhere.

MSA Millennium, anytime.

Darryl, Thanks a lot for the links. They are really great sources for mandolin knowledge. Thank you all for your help. The more you know the harder it gets to choose. http://steelguitarforum.com/smile.gif You guys really know a lot about mandolin. Any of you play steel and mandolin in the same band?...

Amen to that!

There really are a variety of mandolins out there. I`ll probably try something in the 1k to 1,5k range.
I am going to TN in January so I`ll probably try some music stores there.
Thanks for all your help.

Thank you very much for all the input.
I`ll have to look around to see what I can find.

So right you are, Theresa.

A female duo named "The Wreckers". They sure wrecked the music that`s for sure. Absolutely no talent whatsoever. "Top"-artist that couldn`t carry a tune. Outside the studio, many of todays artists are lost without their pitch correcting devices. If we delivered that kind of perfo...

I just wanted some advice.I am going to buy a mandolin to see if that is an instrument for me. If not, I will probably put it up for sale. I believe in the fact that the better the tool the better the work will come out. Do any of you guys have any recommedations as what to buy? I am looking for an ...

I Finally got to watch the CMA( YOU know what I really mean ) Awards 2006 over here. If that is supposed to be country music.. I am a fan of something else. The only uplifting point was Gretchen Wilson and the fact that Brad Paisley was nominated and got to WIN a couple of nominations. The rest was ...

You know - the sum of hair on the body is constant. When it leaves the top of your head it just starts growing in other places....8-?<font size="1" color="#8e236b"><p align="center">[This message was edited by Uwe Haegg on 29 November 2006 at 05:20 AM.]</p></FONT>

I really think this CD deserves to be spread to the "masses" outside the "countryrealm". It has all the makings of a superstardom CD. The way the strings are produced reminds me of the way Chet Atkins used to do them - on this CD they just sound better. Should you ever decide to ...

It seems all good things country emerge out of Texas these days. I just bought a CD with a young lady named Christine Mims on the Yellow Rose Label. In my opinion she delivers the most tastefully produced rendition of "Don´t Touch Me" I have ever heard. If you like really talented vocal wo...
