What kind of guitar is he playing? It sounded like he had a touch of delay added to the mix. Beautiful tone and beautiful execution.

Jean Yves plays a Wiesner
so does Lionel Wendling

Wiesner is Swiss built
not in production anymore since the builder passed away
these steels were influenced by another Swiss builder : Schild

Hi Ron, I found these clips on YOUTUBE.
Search with key words (name of artist)
..I don't know anything about else.
If you want save youtube clip video on your hard disk:
First you need have FLV player: http://www.martijndevisser.com/blog/article/flv-player-updated
Then, go to YOUTUBE. You copy clip URL for exemple: http://youtube.com/watch?v=4IOx9pEE2h8&search=merle%20haggard
Then, go to : http://javimoya.com/blog/youtube_en.php
paste the clip URL click on "download"
After downloading, in the window "dowload" under click (right- click) save target as => get_video
rename the clip and add ".flv", choose your directory and save.

Read the clip with FLV player
If flv player don't run automatically > click right> open with > choose "flvpalyer"> allways with this programm.

Have fun! <font size="1" color="#8e236b"><p align="center">[This message was edited by Patrick Laffrat on 21 March 2006 at 12:47 AM.]</p></FONT><font size="1" color="#8e236b"><p align="center">[This message was edited by Patrick Laffrat on 24 April 2006 at 03:56 AM.]</p></FONT>

Thanks for posting these. It's great to hear how all of these different people take the steel and approach it in various ways.

Please post more!

Nice site, guys! I had no idea there were so many French steelers.

Crowbear, good to see you again, holding forth in your workshop. Keep on Zumming . . . I mean strumming.
