I read an article by Bobbe Seymour talking about the " Z " lever. What is it? According to Bobbe everybody wants one. I sent him my copedent, but he said I do not have the infamous " Z " lever on my steel. Can anyone out there tell me what the heck this Z lever is? Thanks-

Michael, the Seymour "Z" lever lowers the second string Eb to D, raises the 7th F# to G#, and lowers the 9th D to C#. It is used in conjunction with the lever which lowers the E's to Eb, so it should be on the opposite knee. Bobbe Seymour has some instruction videos which explains the use of these two "magic" knee levers. There is, indeed, a lot of stuff there. If I could only have two knee levers, that would be the two I would want.

I have this lever on my Sho-Bud. I am just starting to scratch the surface of it, but you can get some real cool voicings with it.
I am considering getting the video from Bobbe.
