A bent string, is a spent string.

Time has passed since I posed the question alluding to the first steel guitarist to tune his instrument to the E9th chromatic tuning. I do not recall reading information that states clearly who plucked, or strummed the unusual arrangement of notes on a first time trial basis. The answer is insufficient if it strays from the actual tuning, or includes more than one person.

Bill, I vaguely remember the Big E saying he was but maybe I am wrong.....could have been Jerry Garcia.....

If this forum is a learning process, I would like to know which category of events, instilled or motivated the masters to become so ardently creative, when their concerted efforts terminated with the inception of the E9th chromatic tuning?

A momentaneous ventilation of diurnal prevalence

That happened to me once, and after serious reflection on the event I found the cause to be ordering two #15’s, and a #22 from Taco Cabana before the job. (I’ll never do that again..BURP!)

Turning my attention to the question of 3rd string breakage on my steel however, I have found the solution after studding the problem intently for over 30 years (NOT!!). I got a job doing Woodworking shows out on the road every weekend, which prevents me from playing steel in every Honky Tonk in south Texas. No playie, no brakie!! Pretty simple!

from spent strings to Neil Young to Jerry Garcia to taco distress to land sharks in a page and a half -- that must be some kind of record for topic drift -- if there ever was a topic to begin with

What should Doug do about his 3rd string?

chas smith · Post by **chas smith** » 19 Apr 2002 7:44 pm

This should fall into the catagory of the 13th floor. Since that's the doomed string, we should just skip 3 and rename it the 4th. 4th strings last longer so now it's 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11. Eleven string guitars have always had a mystique about them, and now we can still use the original changer. Now granted, from a numerological point of view, 10 is the sum of 1 + 2 + 3 + 4, but the number 11 is a prime number so it does have a cachet, and we can now count how many strings we have on both hands, of course there are those people who have 11 toes.

If they made .11's a little thicker... maybe they would'nt break so often.

Larry Miller · Post by **Larry Miller** » 20 Apr 2002 8:31 am

Having perused all the above enlightenments, I can certainly say that obfuscation of the geminal precept shall, in some transitory nature, only instigate further meanderings into the sinistrorsal vagueries that happenstance promulgates at this time of year. I have elected not to partake into these grandiloquent verbosities for fear of comminatory responses. If nothing else, this thread exemplifies the participants' improving abilities in orthography.

Need I say more?

No, you're said a lot Donny but I'll need a Bobbe Seymour Translation manual to figure out what it is you've said. At least I'm trying ! How many more do we have to go to set a new record ????

Paul,

I think Donny was trying to say:

Havin' perused all th' above inlightenments, ah can sartinly say thet obfuscashun of th' geminal precepp shall, in some transito'y nature, only instigate further mean'erin's into th' sinistro'sal vagueries thet happenstance promulgates at this hyar time of year. ah have elecked not t'partake into these gran'iloquent vahbosities fo' fear of comminato'y responses. Eff'n nothin' else, this hyar thread exemplifies th' participants' improvin' abilities in o'thography.

But I could be wrong
