I can recomend Paul Vendemia in Md. I don't know if he would want to take on the job, but he does very good work. Thanks, Tommy.....

Hi Bob,
Tom Bradshaw in Pleasanton(?), Calif. used to do this work.
You might want to contact him to learn if he still does.
I assume you already have a copy of Clem Schmitz's "Methodology And Practice In Pedal Steel Guitar" booklet.
If not, he sells the booklet and a 2-DVD combo package on eBay listed as "Pedal Steel Guitar 83 METHODOLOGY P/P Book & 2008 2 DVD's Package" for just $21.
