1. The changer is an EMCI and is a triple raise/ triple lower all pull system. So naturally the string spacing is the same as the standard pedal steel. It is modified to accomodate nine strings. The changer is located on the left end of the instrument. This was done to allow room to accomodate the full depth of the sound chamber without interfering with the under-carriage. Thus the string spacing is the same at both the nut and bridge.
2. The pull fingers on the cross rods are from Fessenden.
3. The pickup is a Fishman which attaches to the bottom of the resonator cone.
4. The tunners are the simple keyless type, located on the right end of the guitar.
5. The copedent is D9th with the two chromatic strings on top like the standard E9th. I have is set up as a universal tuning so with the D's lowered is becomes an A6th. Three of the pedals are for the D9th mode and three for the A6th. It has six knee levers. (Two verticles, one of which is located to work with the A6th mode)
6.The tonal quality is as good as any Dobro I have compared it to
7. The pedal action is smooth and positive
8.Stays in tune very well and is very stable
9. It has a device to lock the D lowers for the A6th mode
I am asking $ 1900.00 for the instrument and it comes with a case.
