John R--should have said "lower 5th string w/ AB down." Although I don't have a tunable split there the resulting C is close enough for jazz (or country). And I have become VERY fond of my E>F# 4th string raise. Yep. I'll keep all 7. |

I have E-F# on RKR. I don't have a C pedal at all. My first pedal steel was set up that way and I got so used to it that I switched back even though I ordered my Carter with the standard setup. Just couldn't get used to that. My 3rd pedal is B-A on 5 and G#-F# on 6 |

On my S12, I have a E13 type tuning, but a lot like E9 and E6. As I have one neck it is still set up to play E9, so this may still qualify for your post, Bob... My favorite 4th Knee lever is my RRK which raises the E to F# on the 4th string and the C# to D# on the 5th string. This way I get the E9 Pedal C change, the E9 2nd string change , but in reverse, C# to D# And also use that knee for my E6 Maj7th chord wich replaces your C6 Pedal 7. That way, I never need both feet on the pedals for either tuning. My tuning is almost like a Extended E9 S12 setup, EXCEPT I put the C# in between the E and B. It does not hurt the E9 playing for me. And gives me the E6 and E13 stuff. I take out the 8th string F#, use a knee lever for it......al [This message was edited by Al Marcus on 04 November 2000 at 08:56 PM.] |

I lower my 5th and 10th a half step but I am thinking about changing my setup to lower the 3rd and 6th. |
