Many thanks for the input Michael! Will keep my eyes open for one of those.
BTW, I recently strung my 1937 New Yorker with (custom gauge) Newtone "Michael Messer" strings - great sound and feel!
Cheers,
Fred

Michael, I saw in your Tribo-Tone review that you mentioned a 1934 National lap steel, and having seen the collection of aluminium 1930s lap steels on the Notecannons site, I take it you are talking abount one of these? "La guitare magique", as Gino Bordin called his. How do you rate these? Being a huge fan of the National New Yorker (in particular the 1930s model with three pickups) I am very intrigued by this earlier model. I have read elsewhere that they don't stay in tune very well - do you agree with this? Also, have you recorded this lap steel on any of your albums? How would you describe the pickup and sound in general? Many thanks! Cheers, Fred
