I was just going to post about this!
Looks like a great idea. Can anyone see how it would work (IF it'd work!) on a lap steel? I have a Bennett (UK maker) 6-string lap that'd LOVE to have this mounted on it(!)
I also have a Duesenberg Starplayer TV: VERY well made guitar, so I'll bet this is a nice piece of engineering.

How do you think it compares to the Bigsby Palm Pedals?

The instrument is tuned to open E (E B E G# B E) and the levers are working as follows:
1. string: from E to F (extralever)
2. string: from B to C# (standardversion)
3. string: from G# to A (standardversion)
On the examples for standard guitar the two levers work as follows:
2. string: from B to C#
3. string: from G to A
1. string: from E to F (extralever)
2. string: from B to C# (standardversion)
3. string: from G# to A (standardversion)

Hi everybody ! Thanks a lot for your interest in the new Multibender, that I developed with Duesenberg Guitars. Of course we know, that it`s not a new idea. The palmbender was invented in the late sixties by a guy named Boomer Castleman. At least two companies produced their versions of palmbenders and still do, but as you know, there is nothing in the world of musical instruments, that couldn`t be improved in details....
That`s what we did. You can get a lot of information including the videoclips I did on www.goeldo.de (as mentioned earlier: click on the union jack for english version)
Important: If you want to mount this version on a lap steel (which is great!!), keep in mind, that the string spacing is for regular guitar and that you need enough space behind the bridge
(appx 3,3 inch) Beside of this you have to drill two more holes through the basic plate,
which is a two minute job...
If you are very, very patient, wait for the lap steel version, which is planned for the future.
Note: in my oppinion more then tree levers are REALLY hard to handle. But two or three is big fun, see video clips.
Again: Thanks for your interest, I´ll keep you informed about this pocketpedalsteel!! Martin

Martin, just so you know, I didn't mean to imply that Duesenberg was in anyway that the multibender was a new idea; I'm just wondering in what ways it's different (there are some obvious cosmetic differences, for example). Hopefully someone will have the opportunity to play both and give their thoughts.<font size="1" color="#8e236b"><p align="center">[This message was edited by John Bushouse on 06 December 2006 at 08:33 PM.]</p></FONT>

The only "down-side" is that the picking position is pushed towards the neck pick-up!
For Poor-Tone!
The tips of the pedals should be behind the bridge!
Very cool, in that it is a reversible installation!

I'm going to be getting one soon. I currently use a Hipshot with two benders and three levers for detuning. I love it but,,, whenever I use the B bender to raise the 2nd string, the 3rd string goes flat. Drives me crazy. I talked to someone who just installed a Duesy, and explained to him how to test it. He confirms that there is no drop in pitch on other strings when either or both benders are engaged. That's very good news. I will be getting a Deusy and will use it along with the strap bender I received recently from Jim Sliff (Thanks again Buddy!). I will then be able to rasie the B, and G a whole step, and the 1st string a half step via the strap pull. In the chord form of a C in the first position, I will then have the equivalent of the A,B,and C pedals of a steel. Gotta pay some bills first, and then, Duesenberg time!

Hi John, as a mac user you can download the following extension for your quicktime player. Then the quicktime player can read Windows Media Files. Enjoy the clips !
