Rüdiger Karahn - Germany, Kiel Rüdiger Karahn, who started playing Country Musik in 1986, was always thrilled by the sound of a Pedal Steelguitar. Back then it was hard for him to find any information about that kind a instrument; but at the turn of the year 1990/1991 he was lucky to get his hands on a used Pedal Steelguitar. Finding any instructions not to mention a teacher was almost impossible and he autodidacticly started learning how to play. Artists like Paul Franklin , Dan Dugmore and Sonny Garrish, just to mention a view, gave him the strength not to give up. Finally 1998 he was lucky to become a Pro-Player. Today he is working for Bands like Jenny and Friends, Sixpack Country and Santas Little Helpers just to mention a view of them. I´d like to express my graduate to Wolfgang Bednarz who build my gray SD-10 Steelguitar. The wormness and playability let me believe devoutly in the Guitars he is building. It´s always a pleasure to play that nice instrument. Rüdiger Karahn
