Replacement-bridge for resonator guitars. The string-lever allows the bending of the string in two (tonal-)directions for one or two halftones. Combining this with open tunings and slide-method-playing, quite realistic Pedalsteel-sounds can be achieved. But the Multibender also works in standard tunings and playing-methods. In this case you can achieve the wellknown B- and G- Bender sounds. The Multibender in it's basic version includes two levers. But it can be expanded anytime with additional levers. On these videoclips (see details), the outstanding guitarist Martin Huch(who was deeply involved in the development of the Multibender, and also is one of the guitarists playing on our legendary "Rockinger All Pickup Check CD") demonstrates the amazing possibilities of this bridge.
During the Pedalsteel examples Martin plays a Strat with a Multibender. The string-height was raised by a "Metal Slide Extender Saddle" (our Art.-No. 00A08). Also Martin occasionally uses a third lever for some advanced voicings.
Steel Guitar Clips
The instrument is tuned to open E (E B E G# B E) and the levers are working as follows:
1. string: from E to F (extralever)
2. string: from B to C# (standardversion)
3. string: from G# to A (standardversion)
Standard Guitar Clips
On the examples for standard guitar the two levers work as follows:
2. string: from B to C#
3. string: from G to A
