I need some information on a 6 String Lap Steel My Great neice 7 years old is getting for Christmas.I need to know the Tuning and the Gauges of the Strings. It is brand new from Musicians Music on E-Bay I beleave out of Kentuckey. There is no Tuning or Instructions on the String gauges.I have given her a new bar and new picks and a Cromatic Tuner that I had extra. I'm trying to help her in any way I can to keep her interested in playing Steel Guitar.Any Info will be greatly appreciated.

Order a set of C6 Jagwire strings from this forum (click "strings" on top of this page) and tune it to C6,- that's the tuning that has the most instructional material available, so it's the most practical solution (and probably also the most common tuning).

| Another suggestion for the little "Niece learning the steel"... is: Buy her the Cindy Cashdollar (1 & 2) DVD's or VHS tapes. Both provide valuable visual & audio info along with inspiration for the little gal eager to learn. I've got 'em and they are great! Just my (semi-humble) opinion dan |

Samuel,
I'm near RI on the MA border if you decide to get her lessons. If she's gets the bug.
