MSA Sidekick
Hey everybody! After quite a long hiatus and absolutely no practice on my steel I have totally forgotten how to tune my guitar. This particular axe has a pull-release system and uses a little screw next to the knee lever to tune the high open E string. But I can't remember what order to tune it in!
Is it 1) depress C pedal and tune with tuning keys 2) tune open E with knee lever screw and then 3) depress knee lever and tune with hex screws?
Or is it 1) depress C pedal and tune with tuning keys 2) depress knee lever an tune with hex screws and then 3) tune open E with knee lever screw??
Or none of the above? Several errors have caused me to break this particular string as I have been stretching it beyond capacity in my experimentations!! Thanks for your help! Boy I can't wait to get this thing fired up again!!!!

Shame on you Missy;___you never take an hiatus from steel playing. A break from watching the evening news is permitted, but not practicing the steel guitar.<SMALL>Hey everybody! After quite a long hiatus and absolutely no practice on my steel I have totally forgotten how to tune my guitar. </SMALL>
As your punishment, I'm not going to tell you how to tune it.
Seriously:
You still retain the method for tuning it. Keep working with it and it will return; then it will stay with you much longer than someone repeating to you the method.
If this fails tune in later.
