No, Pete Drake is not a duck (drake) named Pete.Pete Drake is famous for playing steel guitars especially talking ones.
I tried to make my mom's piano talk once by lifting off the top and yelling at top of my lungs "hello" hoping the strings inside the piano will vibrate back "hello" which I kept up for some time it did not work.
Not only this annoyed my parents, I myself wound up with laryngitis and had to see a doctor.Fortunely, in the 1960's doctors still made house calls.In any event don't try it.
On Pete Drake's talking steel guitar there is a plastic tube connected to a speaker and is some how ampifed many times which in turn vibrates the strings.
Pete Drake only has to whisper into this tube using his normal voice ,and since he doesn't have to shout, he does not wind up with laryngitis.
Below is a video of Pete Drake with his talking steel guitar playing the song "Forever"

Below 12 songs of Pete Drake not all of them have a talking steel guitar and In my opinion the beautiful song "Melody Of Love" a talking steel guitar seems way out of place.
