Kannon the Merciful

[William Walker <billwalker@baymoon.com>]

 My dear friend Mando Man,  other wise known as Hideki Nakanishi built me an extraordinaire lap steel guitar  and today i posted an improvisation  on youtube playing this amazing instrument,  also of note is that Ryusei Hattori did an amazing relief carving of the goddess Kannon on the headstock. and Leander Reininghaus  provided a rockinger made multi bender bridge to achieve individual string pulls like a pedal steel guitar. Though i'm still getting my sea legs with the bridge, what I have found so far is really inspiring.

 Thanks and enjoy
