Greetings. I've got a lefty Fessenden D-10 that I've had since 1994. Gigged out with a country band for 10 years. Complete with roller case. Excellent condition. Black in color. Let me know...

Thanks guys for the responses! Emmons it is!

Wondering if it's Emmons due to the tone and style at the time...This is THE SOUND when I think of pedal steel...
Thanks-Gordon

Thank you!

Greetings! I've got a stripped machine head/tuner on my Fessy D-10 and don't know how to contact Jerry for repair help. Any help would be appreciated!
Thank you-Gordon Black

Ron, i've got a 1993 Fessenden D-10 that I'd sell. It's in great condition and comes with a case. Let me know if you're interested.

I've played my Beard upgraded Flinthill for about 5 years now, and I love it! It sounds (in my opinion) as good or better than alot of instruments costing 6 times as much. Paul set it up with a Quarterman cone, bone nut, better spider and a MacIntire pickup.

I recently bought the MTB "Anthology" double album, and on the 2nd CD there is live concert footage of Toy playing steel on "Fire on the Mountain". Great stuff, highly recommended!

I always set up on stage left with my steel slanted facing slightly right. That way I can see the lead singer and guitar player at the same time. Helps when singing harmony and trading leads.

I've got a vertical lever on my D-10 Fessy, which loweres the 6th string G# to G. Could some of you experienced steelers please show me how to use it?
Thank you...

Heard a killer song the other day called "Women Keep Smashing Up My Cars", and did a search and found it was by Kent Rose. The song was done in vintage country/rockabilly style with great steel . Anyone have any info?

Okay...

My band "CrossRoad" played a cowboy church service in conjunction with a large horse sale/auction this last weekend in Albany, Oregon. I played my D-10 Fessy and Dobro...

This thread made me go out and get the "Anthology" double CD of the MTB. The 2nd CD has a live video of "Fire on the Mountain" with Toy playing an Emmons, live-center stage! It's cool to actually see someone play the music that shaped my steel destiny. Also interesting to note th...

I live in Eastern Oregon, and there's Cowboy Churches all over. I play steel and dobro in "CrossRoad", a Christian Country band, and we stay busy doing these services. Some of the gatherings are held in barns, at ranch houses and grange halls. They usually have a BBQ or potluck too. It's a...

Graham, please check your e-mail.
Thanks, Gordon

I know this isn't a tab site, but does anyone have the tab for Lorena (most notably by Mike Auldridge)?

Man, that's good stuff! Thanks Ray, for digging up these jems. I envy your prodigious record collection...

Amen... You go, brother!

Bill, great job! Reminds me of what drew me to the steel in the first place. Love it!

The on-off switch on my '79 Bassman 70 just died, and I'm looking for the correct replacement part. The switch has a gang of 4 solder lugs arranged along the top, and it's all a very tight fit into the chassis, so I'm leery of just stuffing in a hardware store switch. Any ideas? Also, to add to the ...

Yesterday I received a partial phone message from a fellow in Spokane, mentioning something about Doug Jernigan being in Spokane, April 3rd. Does anyone have details?I appreciated his call, but I couldn't make out his name or all of the phone number...

I play in a 5 piece Country/Gospel band. I play both pedal (sitting) and 6 string lap (standing). Before Ted Smith closed down, I had him build me an electric 6 string based on a Melobro body, so that I could play it standing up. Our guitar player, lead singer and I all have wireless rigs, and we wa...

Stage left, angled to the right so I can see the lead player real well. We're a 5 piece outfit and the bass player, mercifully hides behind the lead guy on the right. I share my spot with my Vibrosonic and Dobro. Eric my friend, it IS all about you! From what I've seen, those other guys up there are...
