Just got my new Fulawka(pictures on mightyfinemusic.com very soon).....after I set this "Blue Darlin" up; that was the first think I checked.
A&B pedals down the 4th string E note dropped 1 cent.
A pedal down the 6th string dropped 0 cent.
As a matter of fact.....there is 0 drop on everything else I tried.
So there you go.....a modern pedal steel made out of all Birdseye Maple......with no cabinet;axle;cross-shaft;tuning keys;roller......DROP....at all; and no counter force either.....just pure genious design.
Oh and Ed said the 1 cent drop(which nobody can hear even on a good day)will go away after the guitar has been played and tweeked on; in a short time......
This Guitar sounds(oooh and I hate saying this)similar but better than my ShoBud Pro II.
I am one happy camper......and as soon as I get used to the pedals and knee levers(they are narrower than me bud..ha....)I will play a gig or two with her....but you will see it live at the Grand Ole Opry...on the 3rd of Aug. and you can hear her on the 2nd and 3rd of Aug..on the Grand Ole Opry radio.
Have fun.
