Mechanical Question

[Bryndan McCavanagh]

I am thinking about buying a MSA Red Baron 3x1. It's the most inexpensive steel I've come across. However, I want more knee levers than just 1. I hear that you can do quite a bit with just one, but I really want anywhere between three and four knee levers. I was wondering how hard it would be to add more, or if it's even worth doing?

Trying to upgrade a student model guitar is a lesson in frustration. Learning to play pedal steel without knee levers is a lesson in playing the pedal steel. Many of us first learned and gigged with no levers at all, and some of us without any pedals. You have a choice: save your money for a better instrument and wait to start learning when you get it, or start learning what is available to you now and save your money for the next step up down the road.

I agree with Dave's advice.
Just 3 pedals and bar slants has a lot of music in them, To start learning today.

Many of the great players started on non-pedal steel guitars...just sayin'...
