Hi All Here is my take on Misty E9th. Since recording this I have tried to concentrate more on the C6th side of my Uni. Dave https://soundcloud.com/user-627782904/m ... al_sharing

Nice job David. You put your own spin on it making it a bluesy feel.

Hi Larry Thank you. I had a request from Danny Mitchel on the British Steelies Forum after posting Misty. He asked If I could do Brother can you spare a dime. I will post that next (All C6th) Dave

Thats a cool song. I will be watching for it. Question, did you build that beautiful steel?

I liked that David... well done... I was close to doing this myself a couple years ago, but saw a squirrel and I'm still chasing him

Hi Larry Yes I built it because I fancied trying out a Uni. I used Emmons all pull changer fingers I brought from Emmons and cut the neck and machine head stock with a Makita jig saw, pillar drill and hand files. I worked out the measurements from looking at pics on the web. It plays so well that I sold my Emmons Push Pull that I had for 40 years.

Hi Dale thankyou I think getting Reaper was a real inspiration to push the boundaries rather than just playing my old comfortable favourite's. It also makes you listen to yourself which helps you improve hopefully! Dave

David, thanks for the reply. Just shows what a man can accomplish with hand tools and determination. That's an incredible build and great story.

Hi Larry Thank you. Also took a lot of time. I made my volume pedal as well. The pedal is an Emmons pedal with a dual gang pot that turns two Opto Isolators on and off so no moving parts in the Audio chain. I have built a stereo tube amp and I'm half way through the Stereo Pre amp. Have moved and have a whole house to renovate so no play time until its done. Dave
