I couldn't send you a private message, so I'll just make it public.
Hey dirtdog, Hope your weekend is going well.
I'm starting to get gas for a pedal steel. I've found one company that makes a lefty (that doesn't cost $5000 and more).
I have always shied away from one, thinking it'd be so difficult to play that I couldn't do it.
How did you get into playing it? I'd love to hear about your experiences.
