Emmons Le Grande Pedal Steel Year Unknown

Post by Johnny Pal »

Aloha: I have an Emmons Legrande D10 (with a small horseshoe icon after Legrande), serial number 1170L.
It has 8 pedals, 4 vertical knls and one horizontal lever. Does anyone know approximately what year it was built and
its potential value? It has no serious damage, chips, cracks or rust. Undercarriage clean as a hounds tooth.

I see 14 hole pullers on your guitar which point to a Le grande 11. Check and see when they started out. The keyhead looks small and the decal point to an SKH. Keyhead would have to be 5 3/4"..Early/mid 80's. In that case the 14 hole pullers would have been added at a later time adding a nice improvement. :)

Pat Moore; Wayne Baker & Ron Pruder:
Mahalo Fellas for the Data re possible added bell cranks and small keyhead issue.
And the link to Emmons serial numbers appears to be a great resource.
Mahalo! Johnny
