Every day when I do my morning chores I listen to Territorial Airwaves,lots of good old Hawaiian Steel.
What kind of Steel besides his Ric FryPan was he playing before the Fender Pedal Steel.
Mahalo in advance.

Most pictures of him playing shows show him either with the fry pan, or a Fender 400 (the pedal he started using later), but I did see him with a Stringmaster in one picture.

Harry B Soria recently passed on, so Territorial Airwaves is "off the air" but man, there's so much in those archives that you can't hear anywhere else! Great for fans of Hawaiian music.
