| I am looking to learn again as life got into the way of my learning for the past 2 years. Anyway, at 36 I am looking to get back at it, I currently have a Marlen s10 pull release with a GL E 66 pickup. My problem is in replacing the strings and tuning, the closest steel shop is over an hour away, so I thought I'd just upgrade to an all pull changer. I am looking at an older Marlen all pull or an MSA, any ideas on which way to go? Any input on which to get would be appreciated. Should I go new? Thanks Mike |

You should take an afternoon off and go to the steel shop. Check out all the instruments there and see which one appeals the most to you.

If your pull-release Marlen plays in tune, why not keep it? I loved the tone of mine; I only ditched it for a push-pull D-10 Emmons.
