help in finding a particular pedal steel

Postby Zumbilly(Murdoch) » Sat Jan 10, 2026 12:15 pm

[b]Hi All,
I received a message this morning thru F/B from a lady asking for help to locate a pedal steel which belonged to Her partner's grandfather.
the message was...."We are trying to find out where the steel guitar which was made by Ron Whittaker for Sammy Mitchell. We believe it was sold to Richard Stanton who apparantly has passed away"
The lady thinks I may have contact with Richard Stanton Jr and asked if I could get in touch with Him about the guitar.
If anyone can help I will pass on info to the Lady.
Best regards [
Billy/b]
