message: I added some references to the History section.  
While doing so I found that I question the mention of the theremin in this section.  It's not a stringed instrument, nor is it the earliest electronic instrument, and it really has nothing whatsoever to do with the lap steel guitar (or any kind of guitar, for that matter).  I left it in, but some consideration should be given as to whether it really needs to be there, and if so, whether some further explanation is in order.  @67.206.161.253 -- I also alphabetized the list of players. :)  74.95.43.249 (talk) 20:02, 21 February 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  History 

message: We currently have two articles, "Lap steel guitar" and "Lap slide guitar" which seem to be essentially about the same instrument.  It has been this way for over a decade, but reading the two, it does not appear that there is any real reason to have two articles; both tread the same ground and do not draw any real distinction.  We really should consider merging both to the most common term (being "lap steel guitar") and giving them some rewriting.  Any objections with a reason why this would be a bad idea?  --Jayron32 17:55, 15 September 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Then I'd vote to delete "lap slide guitar" and redirect to "slide guitar" which in the same genre and covers both. "Lap slide guitar", as it stands, totally without sources, will take a lot of work to bring up to standards—only to be duplicated in another article. Even its first four words are misleading about what the actual subject is. --Eagledj (talk) 15:41, 10 October 2017 (UTC)

message: hi, I was wondering about writing/researching some stuff about this being related to chitra veena, as explained in for example  http://www.ravikiranmusic.com/chitravina.htm . it's atleast worth mentioning that there existed older instruments with the characteristic playing technique and that there is some evidence of  influence (should that be correct) right?  ~🐈🐈~♪~何? 14:25, 8 January 2019 (UTC)

message: For years, this article existed in Wiki without any citations. I have tried to improve it recently by adding considerable referenced content. I am looking for input regarding deletion of some unsourced material. I've abbreviated "Tunings" to serve as a broad overview and left out some of the the detail that only sophisticated devotees would really understand; see Wikipedia:NOTTEXTBOOK. Also, the "Notable Players" section is a quagmire where everyone has his favorite player and adding them becomes a free-for-all (as I stated 3 years ago on this page, see above). Many players played both lap steel and pedal steel (Buddy Emmons). I propose deleting "Notable players" or putting it as a list on a separate page not in the main article.

replies: text:  Having not heard any comments to the contrary, I have deleted "Notable players" section. Why do we need "Manufacturers" to be in the article? Just asking. Eagledj (talk) 22:28, 14 February 2021 (UTC)
