Harlin Brothers Steel Guitar,case and Amp

• The Multi-Kord was produced mainly in the 1940s through the 1960s. • It was one of the first commercially successful pedal steels, designed to let players quickly change tunings with its pedal system (you can see the mechanical linkage underneath). • The fretboard’s colorful geometric markers are a signature design. • Harlin Brothers instruments are historically important, though they’re not as collectible as big names like Sho-Bud or Fender steels. About the Amp The amp paired with these is often a Harlin-branded tube amp or sometimes a rebranded Valco or other maker. These can add value if they still function or can be restored. Value Estimate (as of today’s market) • Multi-Kord Pedal Steel Guitar: Usually sells for $400–$800 depending on condition, originality, and playability. Restored and with working electronics, it might push toward the higher end. • Matching Amp: Tube amps from this era, even lesser-known ones, have value to collectors and guitarists. Typically $200–$500, sometimes more if restored and working well. • Together as a Set: A working, clean pair could bring $600–$1,200 to the right buyer (pedal steel enthusiasts, vintage instrument collectors).
