I played a White Emmons D 10( 1974 model) that I had set
up for Fred Bernodo on a You Tube Video some years back.
It sounded as good as any steel I have ever played and I must have had a half doz Emmons Steels since 1967 .
Was wondering if it still exists?

White Emmons D 10 on You Tube
Don
That is the guitar I called Fred and he did not remember
but thought the buyer drove to Reading Pa and picked it up.
I did not record the number as I worked a quite a few Seels
but 1974 seems to be the year of its manufacture which would be a number to be checked on.
I recall the original buyer never learned to play and traded Fred for a Dobro. I dont know how long Fred had it in storage but decided to sell and my memory I restrung cleaned it up very little and set the tuningsand that was it.
I have had 3 Push Pulls that sounded as great as any and rank them in my mind.My first 1967 #2030( no D ) my
second Bolt On#1045D and my last 1970 Fat Back#1459D
Also restored a 1967 Bolt on do not recll the number but these were all that killer PP sound. Also over the yeas found not all Push Pulls sounded as good as others although they all sounded good. Because of my age 86 and health my present rig is a SD 10 Lashley III(also on YouTube) good weight and sound close to a PP buy not quite as a PP IMHO
Thanks for your respnse.
