Hawaiian guitar

Hawaiian guitar guitar with metal strings raised on a steel nut so high that they cannot be stopped against the fingerboard; instead, they are stopped by the pressure of a steel bar held in the player's hand and made to slide along the strings, thus giving a characteristic wavering or glissando effect. It is laid flat across the performer's knees. Also called steel guitar (59, 151). Sort by:DefaultAuthorTitleDateAscendingDescending Douglas, Alan. Electrical Production of Music. London, 1957…
