The sousaphone has a wood case
the tuba does not
I have a white plastic sousaphone also

It looks more like this
keep your kids close

Would anybody in the Philadelphia PA area be interested in a tuba and a sousaphone silver plated 1933

I am still learning

If anybody wants a copy of these posters

I join my Alumni band from high school 1966 class
I play tuba there

I only had this a 2 months and recorded 2 concerts

This would be good to take to your jam sessions

I agree it is cheap But if you are just trying it for the first time Less than $200.00 should do it I paid $500.00 for my 1950 Kord with 4 pedals did not have a clue how to play it or set it up I must thank Danny James for his help I can play the Rondo now just ok and I know what the pedals will do ...

Musician's Friend has a lap steel guitar with legs and a bag

I think I'm sure there's tone already waiting to come out of that aged piece. Lordy knows what someone like Tom Pettingill could carve out of it. Does Tom live close to me Say Wilmington Delaware I will give him some wood http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk243/supro66/GUITARS%20MUSIC/cherrystack....

I agree thr Rondo is a good starter My first steel guitar was a Harlin Brothers Kord 4 pedal s string Still play it not as good a Mr James I did get a rondo with case for $99.00 back in the day I built My first lap steel cost me $150.00 in materials The wood was given to me free My guess it is all i...

I read some where

The lap steel should be tuned out of tune on some notes

Depending on which instruments you are going to back up

I played tuba in High School and with the Shriners band
LuLu in Philly

I knew my Bb and a trumpet Bb were not the same pitch

Very nice

A nut is easy to make

Thanks

I picked up these three parts from E-Bay To make a 6 string Lap steel guitar Tailpeice, bridge and nut You can see the nut is smaller than the bridge like a guitar nut Can I build a lap steel with tappered strings http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk243/supro66/GUITARS%20MUSIC/nutandtailpeice.jpg

Very nice

Born In the USA

Here is the art work I got my Idea from It was a friends son http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk243/supro66/GUITARS%20MUSIC/flag.jpg I must tell the truth Yes I cut the limb up But the man where the limb fell wanted to make the guitar I did not think the wood was seasoned enough but he wanted to m...

That paint job was not my Idea

A young men in 10th grade about ten years ago did it
he got first place

I will post the picture later

I know I could sell the

Stars and Bars paint job

My next one will be an 8 string

I have a doumb question

I see all bridges are fixed at 90 degrees

if you had a non fixed bridge and the string tension held it in place like some guitars

you could slant it to get good intonenation at the 12 fret

Is It required in a steel guitar?
