The Organ-tar was invented by my grandfather Quentin "Wendell" Hall in the early 1940's. It is the predecessor to the modern day steel guitar. I am looking for historical information on the steel guitar to see where the Organ-tar fits in.

Follow this link to see a story from the Omaha World Hearold.

I have the Organ-tar in storage along with many of Wendell's hand drawn schematics.

If you have any information that you would like to share about Steel Guitars, Wendell Hall or the Organ-tar, contact me at macsnob@mchsi.com.
