Lap steel with palm benders - trying it out

[@searbear1992]

Always been such a proud daughter of my cool, talented dad 💙

[@stevejewett3650]

Excellent way to feel about your Dad ❤️

[@Aethelvlad]

absolutely beautiful, i need this in my fishing playlist

[@Texasbluestunes]

Incredible man! I’ve been searching YT for someone I can get ideas and inspiration from. Much obliged sir!

[@rickkrause3594]

This sounds so lovely and soulful.❤️

[@chokkan7]

Very nicely done, sir. My hat's off to you.

[@TomHammelMusic]

Thanks! It felt awkward I have to admit. That steel was just a loaner and I'm having one with benders made for me. Hopefully it will feel more comfortable after I've played it a while!

Cool Tiki hut too! 🏝️

[@TomHammelMusic]

Thanks Bob~!

Beautiful stuff

[@quannamentertainment7290]

awesome performance

[@chrisball8080]

That sounds fantastic Tom. I've just made my own 8 string Lap steel with two benders and trying to play it now. Easier said than done. If I can get mine to send like that, I'll be happy. Cheers, Chris. OZ.🙂

[@TomHammelMusic]

Thx Chris, good luck with it, does feel extremely awkward at first doesn't it. I'm getting a custom 8 string made here with 3 benders and will tune it to mimic most of what an E9 pedal steel is tuned to

[@allensampier5651]

sounded pretty good especially if its your first attempts!

[@jerryderr8043]

Great playing and a wonderful demo! I love the benders but don't know if they're for me. Thank you.

[@tomkelly3122]

[@TomHammelMusic]

Thanks! and by the way, I need to order one of your 8 string roller bridges, should i do that through your website?

[@DavidCertano]

@@TomHammelMusic Yes of course

[@TomHammelMusic]

@David Certano I did and it arrived a couple of days ago. I'm having someone here in Vancouver BC make me a custom 8 string lap with a custom 8 string bender from PetersGuitars. Will share it here when done

[@davidsparks6146]

Thanks for sharing the tuning .... is the bender unit hanging off the back? Is that stable? Sounds great - is that an original song?

[@TomHammelMusic]

Hi David, no the bender unit is screwed into the body, made by Certano

[@TomHammelMusic]

Hi I borrowed this lap steel which was made by Paul Pigat in Vancouver. I'm pretty sure the benders are by Certano

[@DavidHills-rt2jc]
