Train Whistle on Homemade Lap Steel

Views: 158
This might be the shortest video on the Nation. I've been working on making train whistle sounds on my lap steel, The first wail is straight into the amp with a touch of reverb. The second wail is through my modified Boss DS-1 distortion pedal, but any distortion or OD should work just fine. Enjoy!

  • @ Uncle John - great word play, and thanks!  As a writer you might appreciate Ray Bradbury's description of a train whistle:
