Anything known?

Post by Michael Hogan »

This 24 string steel guitar turned up at an Australian auction this week. It was apparently made in Australia.
It has a DELTA hold at airport label in the name Steve Weingarten on the case.

So does anyone know anything about this instrument or Steve Weingarten?

Wow! How cool is that. Wonder how the pitch changers worked--pedals?

Possibly pedals. But it would be good to find someone that knows the story?

Shot in the dark. Each lever changes the pitch of a string. Slide not needed???????
