One of my favorite lap steels, my Harmos Model One. Made June 15, 2004. 20 years old today. Ahead of its time.

Very cool looking instruments

The tuning system didn't work for me and I sent mine back. cool but uncomfortable and unwieldy without the stand.

Bill, I ordered mine with standard tuners. Works great. It also seems easy to play in a stand or in my lap. Different strokes for different folks I guess.

An innovative design for sure - but just too weird looking for me - I couldn’t wrap my head around it so I never bought one.

I recall Robert Randolph had both a lap and pedal version. Jerry Douglas had one that he used on a couple recordings years ago.

Yeah Mark, & Joe Perry had one also.
