John, I presume you are asking about the Sho-Bud. Your link gives a listing of mandolins, a banjo and the Sho-Bud. It is a pedal steel guitar and is played by sitting at it and plucking the strings while sliding a steell up and down the strings. The pedals change pitch on the strings as you do this.A well played pedal steel is an incredible sounding instruent. Listen to Roger Gilmour of Pink Floyd.
