I apologize if this is an amateur question, but why is it necessary to make the springs as opposed to buying them?

If you can find tapered springs like these by all means buy them. I have never found them anywhere.

I had an MSA D-12, but the cabinet was broke. I built a new cabinet, took the front neck gear & moved it over. I replaced the changer plate, so that it only had one hole... When it was done, It looked like new & played like new. It took my about a year... I had a great U-12

Very interesting and thought provoking video. I am curious, so could you or someone please tell me at 0:42 why two of the changers are set back from the four ahead of the two in question. The two changers also have the strings running under rollers. Is this a method of raising or lowering the pitch. Beats me.

Can I ask what open string tuning you are using and what happens when you depress the A and B pedals., also the knee lever. What string gauges are you using and I take it that you are playing through a Peavey 400 amp. I really would like to know more about this 6 string pedal steel, as it sound ok to me. Cheers... Les

Les: It is an E9th tuning. High to low it is G# E B G# F# E. .011 .014 .018 .022 .026W .030W. A pedal raises B to C#. B pedal raises G#'s to A. Lever lowers E's to D#. I am playing through an old Peavey bandit 65. Thanks for watching!
