Pedal Steel Description



Nevah can never get enough of the pedal steel!  Jack Andersons' expertise on the the Pedal Steel makes Nevahs dynamics a wonderful thing to behold. Jack often controls the levels of the band with his subtle  dynamics allowing every soloist to be heard and letting the vocals stand out. Volume control is an art that most bands and players never achieve, Jack has and leads the nevah band to new heights with his dynamic Pedal Steel control.



A pedal steel guitar is typically rectangular in shape, and has no specific resonant chamber or conventional guitar body but only one or more guitar necks. These are mounted on a stand and equipped with foot pedals and usually knee levers. Many models feature two necks, the nearest neck to the player most often uses a C6 tuning and the farther away neck uses an E9 tuning. The most common configuration is one or two necks of ten strings each, but eight-string and twelve-string necks are also popular, and even models with 14 strings on one neck can be found. Three-neck instruments are less common than those with one or two, but are not unknown.


The pedals and/or knee levers (engaged by moving the knees left, right or vertically) on the underside allow the performer to tighten or relax one or more strings in combination to specific tuned notes, changing the instrument's tuning during performance.

Watching Jack work his Pedal Steel Magic is a truly magical experience.
