Hey,
congrats on your new steel.
For twenty years I thought about purchasing a steel and never did because I knew it will require a lot of work and time spent. I already play a number of stringed instruments, and yes, they need to get played and practiced.
Finally, two months a go I bought my first pedal steel - and I love it, though it's a beast. I practiced nearly every day and I never regret so far. My lap steel, Dobro and Weissenborn experience help. Just a magical instrument !
