Question:
How Does a Push-Pull Changer Work and Is It Still Being Produced?
Answer:
Steel guitar manufacturers basically have stopped manufacturing the Push-Pull changer mechanism (a few builders MAY still be making this mechanism). Push-Pull guitars were noted for their tone. The push-pull mechanism handled relatively simple setups well.
More complicated, modern copedants and universal tunings, requiring triple-raise and/or triple-lower, showed the older, push-pull mechanisms to be inadequate and/or hard to implement and maintain.
