{"product_id":"9781574240214","title":"The Hawaiian Steel Guitar and Its Great Hawaiian Musicians","description":"\u003cp\u003e(Fretted). The term \"steel guitar\" can refer to instruments with multiple tunings, 6 to 14 strings, and even multiple fretboards. To add even more confusion, the term \"Hawaiian guitar\" refers to an instrument played flat on the lap with a steel bar outside of Hawaii, but in Hawaii, it is the early term for the slack key guitar. Lorene Ruymar clears up the confusion in her new book that takes a look at Hawaiian music; the origin of the steel guitar and its spread throughout the world; Hawaiian playing styles, techniques and tunings; and more. Includes hundreds of photos, a foreword by Jerry Byrd, and a bibliography and suggested reading list.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Centerstream Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47034596262128,"sku":"9781574240214","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781574240214_p0.jpg?v=1763792543","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781574240214","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
