I wouldn't recommend a 'Carter starter', my first guitar was one and the only good thing I could say about it was it encouraged me to build my own, on the principle that I couldn't make anything worse than that. :lol:

My Grandfather told me "never buy anything with a handle, because it invariably means 'WORK'". When I asked him how you can tell the difference between 'Legal' and 'Illegal', he replied "If you cant tax it, it's illegal" All of which I have found to be true Ron Mc :lol: :lol: :lol:

Most decent electronic keyboards have a 'transpose' function that enables a player to play in any key using the chord fingerings they are familiar with Alan.

Hi Bill A couple of years ago when I was 66 and supposed to be in possesion of more sense, I decided I should try a pedal steel guitar, I bought a 'Carter Starter' but did'nt feel comfortable with it so I got myself a 'Emmons ST10' (black). This machine has taken over my life, it has its own bedroom...

I have met David at one of John Davis's 'pedal steel meets' in Cambridgeshire and I can assure anyone, that the only 'attitude' David displayed was a willingness to take time to talk to a newbie like me. He is an excellent musician and a gentleman to talk to. Best Regards David and keep pickin! Ron Mc

The main problem with drilling aluminium is the fact that it will fuse to the cutting edge of the drill, to prevent this use some kerosene as a cutting lubricant, WD40 will also help.

It's one of the few uses Ive found for WD40! :)
