touring europe?
I've had a coupla maybe offers to tour Europe (knock on wood, a fella can dream, etc.) and I'm wondering how easy and/or cheap it is to rent a d10 over there.
Anyone know?
Thanks.

My guess is that, between all the EU countries, you would find maybe half a dozen sources for renting a steel, not many more.

I'm worried the airlines would trash it. I've got an old sho-bud Pro II with no flight case & it's 85 lbs. I looked into flight cases and they're - well, they're about the cost of a Maverick. I figured I might save money and save my steel by renting, especially when you add in the overage costs, which are a lot, too. I don't mind playing other people's steels (I'm down with OPS). I'm ok with the idea of buying a flight case and trying it, I guess, but it makes me nervous. What do most people do? Has anybody rented in Europe?

At least in Germany you won't find a backline rental that has pedal steels. Maybe it would be a nice business opportunity for Wolfgang Bednarz to provide a guitar that musicians from overseas can rent...?!? ![Image](http://steelguitarforum.com/smile.gif)
