I have looked at other benders and was not impressed by their design and workmanship. My father was a machinist and when I opened the box I knew he would have been as pleased as I was ! Really Fine Workmanship! Nice smooth action and taper for the bends ! It is really fun to play!! Thanks! Great Job!

Great addition to a lap steel guitar — you can get some steel guitar tones! David has also been very responsive to all my queries!

Great craftsmanship. The Certano bender is very easy to install. I got the bender and the bridge set for my Recording King lap steel. I have no tuning problems when using these benders. I am very happy with the product.

Very well built and probably the most fun I’ve had with a guitar since I discovered the pentatonic scale. Thank you for this fantastic product, Mr Certano!

David Certano, is a noted maestro with the guitar, and also a master luthier of his patented Lap Steel with benders. I had received his hand crafted Certano CL-1 from his shop in France to my home on Cape Cod USA in just 2 days. It is the BEST lap steel with all hand built quality parts. It is extremely resonant and remains in tune....a beautiful instrument that you will treasure playing onstage or in the recording studio.

A beautifully made product that does exactly what it's advertised to do. I put my benders and roller bridge on a Recording King lap steel. The installation was easy and straightforward. Highly recommended!

Companies that do everything to perfection in terms of product design and quality, useable documentation, customer service and prompt delivery are very rare. Certano is an exception -- David Certano accomplishes all of these things and more. The fit and finish of the string Benders and roller bridge I received for a couple of lap steel guitars are – well, perfect! Kudos to an outstanding company -- Certano.

I changed over my lap steel from C6 tuning to Open D and installed the Bender and bridge this week. The process was very easy and I love the way it sounds now. Having the ability to sound like a pedal steel is something I've wanted to do for a long time. Thanks, David, for the prompt service and your commitment to your product.

I couldn't be happier with the experience. The benders I ordered shipped on time and got here even faster than I expected. I also appreciate David's customer support and guidance helping me troubleshoot adding the benders to my guitar. Great stuff.

This is a beautiful, well-built lap steel with high-quality components. It came set up perfectly and sounds fantastic. Including a personalized gig bag and a tone bar was a nice touch. Well done. I highly recommend this lap steel.

Oder arrived well packaged. Installed unit no issues. Will take some time to learn new right hand positions. Unit well made and shows beauty to my Telecaster guitar. Works very smooth and adjustments very easy to adjust. Thank You for this Certano Low Profile B&G Palm Bender for Telecasters.

I recently bought a Palm Bender “Le carré LOW” for my Tele and I am very happy with it. Shipping was fast and installation was simple. I had to cut down the edge of the ashtray-style bridge to allow the B & G strings to pass through, but that was easy with a Dremel tool. The bender is very well made and works well. Tuning is stable and easy to adjust on stage without tools. It's going to take a while to get the hang of using it while coordinating picking and pressing either, or both, levers.
