I am preparing to release my CD. Here’s samples from CD on YouTube. https://youtu.be/m9BJkdeHFhk It contains 13 tunes, focusing on traditional Hawaiian steel guitar and slack key guitar instrumental. I am deeply influenced by the Maile Serenaders’ Kani Ka Pila vol.1 & 2 albums. I appreciate orde...

I have prewar Frypan and B7. Both pickups are bright. I tend to play them roll off the tone 3/4 way around.

I like wound A string. Because chimes (harmonics) on plain A sound dead.

How is it? You can achieve easily with proper volume swells. I was taught from Bobby Ingano in Hawaii.

Here’s our live version played with slack key guitarist Pancho Graham on Kaua’i two years ago.

Thank you, David and Joe! Sure I love sound of the Sons of Hawaii. Feet Rodgers and Gabby are my favorite players. I am fully inspired by Maile Serenaders Vol.1&2 album. The bar I use is made by Todd Clinesmith. The size is 7/8 X 3-1/4. It is not so long but regular size. https://www.clinesmithi...

Thank you for your compliment! I am glad you like them.

My recent “Stay Home” project video. Steel guitar solo or steel guitar backed by slack key guitar. No professional recordings, just practice sessions all by myself. I hope you enjoy and be safe yourself. #7 Old Plantation - Kuʻu Pua I Paoakalani https://youtu.be/nM_2tt2rYiY #6 E Mama E https://...

Bobby Ingano Trio is usually at La Mariana Tiki bar and restaurant in Honolulu on Tuesday.

Thanks for all your comments. I was given all files through this thread. The forum members help us a lot! I will work out a course right now.

I have recently acquired used Jerry Byrd instruction course book. However two CDs can’t be read by any CD player or drive. Anybody know how to rescue the data from CDs? Or, I will appreciate if anyone share sound files to me. https://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix1712/541_687517B094CE4E1BBBEB1DB5...

7 string narrow neck is a big news! Also a satin finish. It may be my next choice.

Alan Akaka’s HIMELE staff Addison Ching wrote about Clinesmith Frypan on his blog. I contributed some comments and put a sample video on YouTube.

I have a few arrangements with three fret slants on the low b7-1-3. So if you have it on say the seventh fret, dominant chord...you forward slant with the middle string in place, giving you a tonic triad 1-3-5. I use it when I play 'Akaka Falls. I like that emotional lick very much. It is one of th...

I received mine yesterday night. Awesome!! Thanks, Todd!

My old and new Frypans.

Lucky you, Rick! I had ordered last October, I was told mine would be ready by the mid February. Just can’t wait!!

I had a same problem with my A-22. It’s from typical pole piece issue. Sanding and putting a thin aluminum foil shim between the pole piece and the horseshoe solved the problem.

I use SKB viola case. It is sturdy, light and fits perfectly.
A minor modification is needed. You can cut a bit of inner foam at the head compartment.

Wow, beautiful! Serial is #2, real treasure!!

30's National Tricone. Anybody know the tuning?

If anybody might not believe that, I bought this one. :) The guitar is on the way to me now. The seller reduced the price. Bobby Ingano gave me a suggestion as $2000+ is a good price for any prewar Frypan. He said a lot of old timers in Hawaii put the tone control next to the volume. I decided as he...

I've talked with Bobby several times about his most favorite guitarist, his teacher David "Feet " Rodgers and Gabby Pahinui. I also learned their licks from Bobby.

I am interested in Quilter 101 mini head which Lee Jeffries uses.
