:D In my mind I immediately saw a tiny steel guitar that hides beneath your shoe.

Sonny, I sent you a PM.

I got this Moyo update just a few hours ago at the Denver Steel Guitar Show. Glenn Taylor with Matt Skellenger on bass (sorry Glen, I didn't catch your drummer's name). Glenn's trio played some of Matt's compositions. It was an unusual, compelling and excellent performance.

Glenn mentioned having a Moyo steel built/available, but didn't share any details.

I've been busy keeping up with Moyo volume pedal orders. I hope to get back to finishing pedal steel #17 soon.

Hi Glenn,

Curious as to what your Moyo Steels price ranges are?
I am fully intrigued by them.

BTW, i received the Moyo volume I ordered from you and must say I just love it. Great job. Great size. Nice little industrial feel.

the Moyo pedal steels are in the $3000 and up range.
I have a new single 10 4+5 available, and soon a used (by me) single 12. I have never built a double neck. I have pretty much just built instruments for myself and sold the extras. I built the single 10 for myself, but I found out that I really prefer 12 strings, so I never played it very much.

A single12 will be in the $3-4000, depending on if it's used or new. A used one could be available any time. Perhaps if anyone is interested, we could communicate via email.
I do not know Josh Yenne.

Glenn, your Moyo steels are easily the best looking steel guitars ever built. Are there any soundclips available featuring classic country playing?

Indeed I was playing a Sierra. But I love my little moyo pedal as my backup volume pedal. I do not prefer the size and have never used it on a gig but loving having it there as a backup. And a guitar player I play with uses it as his main volume pedal. Coo!
