IRELAND E9 steel rental for August

[joehw]

Hi there.

I'm playing a couple of shows on the west coast of Ireland 27th and 28th of August and I am looking to rent a steel.

Had a look at Ryan(Ripoff)Air and as my steel is 32kgs it will cost me an arm and a leg to get it over there.

I wondered if a kind Irish steelie would be willing to rent me a steel for those 2 days?

I play an D10 ShoBud but only need the E9 neck for these shows so a S10 or SD10 would be perfect.

Thanks!
Joe.

Ryan air use to do a deal where any musical instrument travels for £25! Check it out. They don't tell you it's in the small print! Alan

Thanks Alan.

I've had a look through all the minute details on the website and I can't seem to find that deal anywhere.

Thanks for the reply!

Joe.

Joe, what set up do you use ? I have some lighter s 10's but they will be "Day" set up... And by the time you have collected from me or paid carriage you may be no better off...

Hey JD,

You diamond.
I appreciate the offer but I have to say I would be pretty useless on a Day setup.
I play Emmons - so I'd need ABC pedals, E's on left knee. Then, RKL - 1st string tone raise + 6 tone lower. RKR semitone lower on 2nd and 9 string.

Do you have any steels that come in around 20kg or under?

The little"Fender Artist" comes in at 21kg in the box with everything in but would make 20 if the legs and pedal board were hand luggage but it is "Day" set up ! I am sure I told you Day set up was best way to go

Joe, according to Ryanair website musical instruments are carried at £50 per sector if booked on line, or £60 if purchased at airport.

For the first 20Kg, + £10/Kg after that.

Total rip off, I personally try to avoid flying with them if humanely possible.

You and your Day-vis set up...
You're so British John.
