cock lap steel ;D what a obsence instrument. Ok, never mind, hehe
Actually, how does the lapsteel work? Seem to me the sound is already distorted and just use the metal piece to play with it(hehe, pardon my ignorance in this)

hahaha.. seriously, i dont know that much lah.. it's abit like gu zhen meets guitar slide.. i played for a while at a shop in melbourne n watch this uncle n teen played w it.. rather impressive.. n that's what turned my curiousity into serious gas... yah, that's about the closest encounter i have w a lap steel.. not much at all eh.. that uncle told me if i buy from him, he can teach me.. in the end, i left the shop, came back again the next day n left w the clone theory... haha..
