I use RKL to lower my E's and I don't have knee problems. I don't know how to answer the poll.
As my Grandpa used to say, "Do you walk to school or carry your lunch?"

My first pedal steel was
Rkl raise the E's and RkR lower the E's . It seemed logical to me..
I can also play if they are both on the left , raising left and lowering right but am most comfortable the way I started.
I have tried playing steels that split them to separate knees but don't like it.
I don't see any reason to change or any particular advantage or disadvantage at this point in time. |

ok heres what I did to my set up
and so far it works great!!
lkl raise 4 and 8
lkr lowers second string/raise 7 th string
a whole or a half tone ( still debate that)
rkl lowers 9th string half tone
lowers 6 string half tone
rkr lowers 4 and 8
pedal 4 raise first string whole tone
the c6 im debate on that for a time knee wise |

I like that smooth full tone sweep you can get by having the E raises and lowers on different knees.

"I like that smooth full tone sweep"
So do I, Chris. You can also do that change lightning fast with the levers on different knees. Plus, I don't like to have my knee levers up tight to my legs.If the changes are both on one knee, it seems you'd need them touching your leg to avoid a short pause on the E while you're moving your leg.?
But then, I've never had the changes on one knee. So,,,,,,,,, |

Right Knee Right on a U-12.
Gets my right leg out of the way to play 6th style chords on the right side of the pedal board...

Mike - The only reason I don't go for RKR is I play both U-12's and D-10's. I still like to use one of my old Emmons D-10 push pulls on some gigs and am not willing to change the setup. All are set up with the E's on the left knee. I bought a U-12 MSA that was set up that way and now only play with the E's on the left knee and am very comfortable with it.

Posted 14 Jan 2011 8:49 am hey Dave
|

hey Dave well i can understand that for sure
my thing is for some reason after I had my knees replaced(thats another story in its self) my left leg wound up crooked to the outside just recently
I discoverd this to be so.....now my leg is
always twisted way out left so that was the reason
I switched mine around makes a lot easyer pull for me now players with normal healty knees this would not be the case
thanks for your posts!!! Mike |
