Some very nice pedal steel licks here via the two palm levers:

Palm levers and a sliding capo .... cool! Nice to see new ideas surface. There are good high-res shots of the lap steel in their downloadable PDF catalog.

.....Yeah, we know, that it`s not a bargain......but it`s certainly the same as in the "regular" guitarmarket: you can buy anything from a 50 bucks china-crap guitar to a 10.000$ piece of guitar-artwork....
Keep that in mind, then compare the Duesenberg with other new lap steels on the market today . I`m talking about the "special features" like the Multibender and
the built-in capo on one side, but don`t forget to check out it`s soundquality on the other side.
For those of you, who are interested in learning more about the Multibender: Here are better quality video-clips,I recorded two years ago with a Multibender on a Strat.
(that was before we started the lap-steel projekt...)

Hi Martin, thanks for your reply. A quality instrument with innovative design features that reflects time and craftsmanship certainly can demand and receive a fair price in the marketplace. The instrument looks & sounds first-rate.
You're getting some cool pedal steel effects out of the bender. Are you using open D or E major tuning? What latitude do you have to set-up the palm levers to specific intervals? Are they easy to adjust or change? Is there a locking mechanism to return the strings to proper pitch? Thanks.

Hi Andy and everybody !
first of all, THIS is the correct directlink to the videoclips, english version: http://www.goeldo.de/specials/bender3_en.htm
For the clips I used an open E tuning : (E B E G# B E)low to high.
But the great thing with the Multibender is, that you can build up your own system in a few minutes:
You can add levers to the two standardlevers, you can
change the string, that the lever is working on by simply removing the string, then slip the lever to another stringposition, put the string back, and there you go !
You can raise OR lower a string up to a full step.
If you want to lower a string, you have to install the included returnspring, to get the note back to pitch. (I use this feature in a very simple way on
another lapsteel by just lowering the third a half step,
for going from a full major to full minor chord. Basic but great !
All this makes the Duesenberg a perfect tool for musicians, who are looking for new ways in the field of lapsteel. I promise you: IT`S FUN !!
Click on "Details" below on the videopage, to see the details of the bender, like tuningscrews etc etc
Concerning the "easy shift" built-in capo: IT´s really easy and fast to handle, you can even change the key in the middle of a song ! No ratteling, solid tone because of a massive contact to the fretboard
(I always hated the tone of the floating capos..)
And last but not least: You cannot loose it, ha !!!!
Enjoy the clips !! Thanks for your interest !

It's a very good system.
Here's my Bennett (British-made) lap steel, again, with its benders. E7th tuning with equivalent of A&B pedals and a 3rd lever on top E, to take it up to F (a la a pedal steel knee lever).
Covers a lot of ground, really, and is soooo much lighter than a pedal steel(!) so, since I mainly play guitar, it suits me fine.
