Who hangs the most stuff on their pedal steel?

[Jack Hanson]

Tuners? Effects pedals? Control boxes? Bar & pick holders? Sheet music stands? Microphones?
iPhones? iPads? iPods? iPuds?
A kitchen sink?

Who regularly dangles the most stuff from the superstructure of their pedal steel when they play?

My humble submission:

Oh, and I hang my Crown Royal pixenbar bag from the keyhead. When I play St. Patty's, I attach a Tullamore Dew bar towel to the front apron.

When I was first learning to play, about 6 years ago, I hung a rubber chicken from my steel. I clamped a splash cymbal to the leg & hung a pair of big girl panties with our band logo from the front. It was a little slapstick, but I was entertained.
I always hang my mic stand from my steel leg. I have the most compact mic stand there is. It fits in with my legs/rods/pedal rack.

Ya mean like these?

It's hard to tell from that pic.
My mic stand attaches to the leg of my guitar, muck like the way I see people mounting a Peterson tuner to the leg of their guitar.

I try to hang everything on my guitar. For me, it's the obvious place. I started in the 80s with a leather pouch to hold my pics and bar. Then came the Steeldriver, from Goodrich, attached to my right leg. I then fashioned a drink holder out of an adjustable hose clamp and an aluminum right angle. When I was able to clip the TONEX One to the right leg, I thought I was done, but I found I could clip the SpaceDust as well.

Traded all the pedals for an Alexis Midiverb.. Telonics midi controler, nice and simple with enough effects..

I used to have a bar holder on my steel for my Ezzee Slide polymer bar, and it worked for a little while, but then it started coming loose and falling off the side of my steel, so after three or four times of it coming loose, I decided to put both my picks and bar between the pad and the neck of my steel. When the holder would come loose, my bar was inside it, but didn't hurt it-I worried that it would hurt the bar, but it didn't hurt anything.

To anyone who built their own clamp-on drink holder - what did you use as a clamp? And how did you stop it from sliding down the leg?

Looking for any tips on making one

[Jon Jaffe]

I built one in 2005, and I posted it on the Forum. They were a labor of love, and I sold one and kept one for myself. I made it out of an aluminum ladder hanger, a radiator clamp, and a Gibson clip. I now have it attached with a longer plastic clip that I use to attach all my pedals. I believe they're available on the forum store or Sho-Pro.

Also, clips are available on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00AIE89CY?re ... _title_0_0

They will hold about 3 pounds. I put fuzzy Velcro to shield the leg from the screw, but electrical tape will provide more friction to inhibit slippage. I have been using it for over 20 years at every gig. As you can see, it folds up for storage in my seat.

Very cool, thanks Jon! I may just have to steal this design. That Amazon clip looks like it would be perfect. I may even try to work a bar holder somewhere into the design!
Cheers to the Shiner!

Steal and steel away.

I have a drinking bird on a platform at the level of the cabinet top. He drinks all gig long!
Also a mini Tumnus pedal clipped to a leg.

too lazy to hang anything.
