DBENNVAhotmail.com Posted January 12, 2001 Share Posted January 12, 2001 Peeps, This subject is new to me.

Steven Denike Posted January 12, 2001 Share Posted January 12, 2001 Let me know what you find out elsewhere, too... I know MUSICPLAYERNETWORK had an article /powerpoint presentation on selecting pedal steels... Anyways, I don't know how to find that - perhaps ARCHIVES?

dave251 Posted January 12, 2001 Share Posted January 12, 2001 The old push-pull Emmons are considered to be top of the heap for tone, if not for tuning stability. www.electrocoustic.com This message has been edited by dave@electrocoustic.com on 01-11-2001 at 08:49 PM Dave Wendler Instruments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lrbreez Posted January 12, 2001 Share Posted January 12, 2001 Emmons would probably be best. I like Sho-Bud better, but they are no longer made. I used a Lloyd Green model for years. Buddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave251 Posted January 13, 2001 Share Posted January 13, 2001 I like the Sho-Buds better too...particularly the wood necks(rather than the later aluminum necks). Does anyone know what Buddy E. is up to these days? Is he still kickin? Dave Wendler Instruments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lrbreez Posted January 13, 2001 Share Posted January 13, 2001 I like the wood Sho-Buds better too. I also like the wood Emmons better too. When you get a steel, get a double neck and get a minimum of 4 knee kevers. Emmons has a list of used steels that people trade-in when they buy new ones. I missed the Lloyd Green that I owned by 1 week. I sure wanted to buy it back. Buddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lrbreez Posted January 14, 2001 Share Posted January 14, 2001 Actually that should be a minimum of 5 knee levers. Buddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 19, 2001 Share Posted January 19, 2001 Emmons. My dad (Leo LeBlanc) played a Pedal Steel custom designed and made by a guy he met in Japan, he loved it. BUT he played an Emmons before that on a bunch of albums. As far as I know Buddy Emmons is still playing around the Nashville area, I might be wrong. As far as pedals go, make sure you have at least five and be creative, customize, make your own combinations. All the great Pedal Steel players, guys who invented how to play the instrument had different tunings and pedal configurations. I don't think there should be a standard. Oh and don't forget knee levers http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/smile.gif, use everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
