Paul it could be a Carvin, but it would be pretty old. They used to make non pedal as well as pedal steels. The pedal steels were all cable operated. Man I cant remember how long that was ago. Back in the 50's I guess.

Interesting. I didn't know Carvin had been in business that long. |

Kiesel Electronics was founded in 1946, and became "Carvin" (a combination of Lowell Kiesel's sons' names) in 1949.Kiesel guitars show up for sale on occasion. I had one of their Bakelite lap steels for a while -- a tough-looking plain black guitar with a forgettable pickup. ("I've known Rickenbackers, and I have worked with Rickenbackers. You, sir, are no Rickenbacker ...")[This message was edited by Russ Young on 16 June 2004 at 12:22 PM.] |
