I know a few pedal steel and lap steel players around BR. wish I knew how to play them. they look fun.


Yeah they do, but I think the upkeep is high on them (those strings are tight and wear fairly quickly) and it's a fairly demanding instrument from a technical and a physical standpoint, or so I am told.

I've always heard its one of the hardest instruments that one can attempt to learn. Don't know how true that is though.
