I drove all the way from western Massachusetts to London Ontario for one of Bent Romnes' steels guitars, and what a fabulous steel it is! It's a Twang Machine! and I LOVE it! Awesome!

Ain't nothing quite like hearin' that high lonesome bent sound!

Ben, Thanks for the great plug, my friend!

Ben took a chance on me and my BenRom Steels and was the first American to buy one. Considering the fact that US builders make so many quality pedal steel brands, I feel that this was a big feather in my hat.

Ben has 004; 005 went to Norway and 006 went to North Bay, Ontario. 007, the one that is nearing completion now, is going to Norway, to my first repeat customer, Knut Norbotten, who also has Blue, which is 003

Ben has become a friend of the family..that's just the way Ben is. He is coming this way in July to have some adjustments and additions made on his beloved Blackbird as we dubbed it. (Black walnut and Birdseye maple)
