FAQs

How do you tune it?
The pedal stops and strings tune with standard American size Allen Keys (5/32” and 7/64” respectively). They are available at just about any hardware store if you lose the included tuning tool that incorporates both sizes.

Changer on the left side? Are you nuts?
Maybe I am nuts. But I like to be able to tune strings and changes with my left hand as I pick with my right. Furthermore, I can build the guitar with a solid bridge in the style of an electric guitar or lap steel. The strings do not care which end is pulled.

How many raises and lowers are possible on the Moyo?
It is possible to add many raises and/or lowers to the same string, especially if they tune to identical pitches (they share a pedal stop). However, there are limitations to how many tuners can be utilized on the left endplate; it depends on the copedant. Confused? Email me your copedant (tuning, pedal and knee lever setup) and we’ll talk.

How hard is it to change the copedant (pedal/knee lever setup)?
It is moderately difficult, not recommended for the compleat idiot. However, the somewhat mechanically inclined can manage it. Once it is set up properly it will seldom if ever need adjustment other than tuning the strings.

Where can I check out a Moyo in person?
Right now pretty much only in Denver where they’re built.

That’s a weird looking pedal steel!
That’s not a question, but I will respond. Pedal steel guitars have been ready for an alternative look for some time. The Moyo is one of many options. Even so, let’s face it: most non-players won’t even notice the difference. And who says a pedal steel can't be a work of art?
