The Steel Guitar Forum

Hey folks,

I am looking for information on the earliest pedal steels as well as those with pretty much any pitch changing device from pre-1942.

I am looking to do an essay up on this early tech as part of a story on Alvino Rey's involvement.

Any info. and pictures would be very helpful.

Thanks
Lynn

Some good info in there.

Check out Lorene Reymar's book "The Hawaiian Steel Guitar And It's Great Hawaiian Musicians, and the article about Jay Harlin and his Kalina Multi-Kord.-- http://books.google.com/books?id=WlDSDo ... rd&f=false
