I was right across from their booth on Saturday at the Seattle Folklore Society/Songwriters in Seattle table. I saw one just like that (yours?) on display and kept wondering what it would be like to play.
That evening Chad Graves of the Hillbenders was playing a huge instrument that looked a LOT like these pictures. Is it a lap steel? What's the sound like compared to a conventional scale length?

It is low and resonant. Big, lovely tone.

Chad was playing something big through a pedalboard during the Hillbenders show in the Grand ballroom. It sure reminded me of your baritone lap steel in shape and size.

Naw, nobody talks much at Wintergrass... Friday, Chad, Orville Johnson and the dobro player from fireside Collective (name escapes me) had a jam session at the booth. Talk about a lap steel masterclass...

As an aside, Smithers B.C. is a wonderful, relatively undiscovered gem, set amongst soaring mountains & glaciers, in a very fertile valley, some of the best powder skiing anywhere, populated by many artisans.
I’m sure your new instrument sings, Congrats !

I'm really interested to know what such an instrument sounds like. Any chance of a sound clip from yours, or a link to another one? Col

Wow, nice clips. I could fall for that sound - more haunting than many resonator instruments.

At some point, Friday I think, Dan Tyak was playing some blues and such and Orville Johnson sat down with his Dobo and was playing some lovely single line leads over the deep fingerpicked Weissy. Beautiful stuff.
