Basic tuning low to high:
C E G A C E

P1 raised string one E to F and lowered string 5 E to Eb.

P2 raised both the 2nd and 3rd strings a whole tone, C to D and A to B.

P3 raised string 1 E to F# and lowered string 4 G to F#.

P4 lowered string 2 C to B and raised string 6 C to C#.

Since I don't know that much about C6th I don't know if this is a very good set up or not but I thought I'd put it up for scrutiny by others more in the know....JH

Livin' in the Past and the Future with a 12 string Mooney tuning.

The Multi-Kord was built by a company called the "Harlin Brothers" in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Here's an old postcard that I captured off of an auction on eBay that was included with the auction of one of their pedal steel guitars:

It shows that there really were Harlin Brothers and that they not only built their Hawaiian steel guitars but they also performed as a group.

If you use the Steel Guitar Forum Search Engine, you'll find many discussions about this old popular musical instrument.

Have fun.

The photo didn't come out well because it's too wide for the Internet structure which doesn't support horizontal naviagation.

Enjoy.

Jerry Hayes-your tuning looks like you pretty well covered all the bases. You can get a lot of music out of that setup.

I met Jay in 1954 at his factory in Indianapolis. I brought my Gibson 1940 Electra-Harp down there and we could see that the Changer was very similiar, theirs had locknuts on the screws so it seemed to stay in better tune than the Electra-Harp, which had screw in soft metal, but when you kept changing screws, the threaded hole in the tuning bar got bigger and therefore would back out a little when you hit the pedal, throwing the pedal tuning off.
If you will notice that Jay had his built on a solid stand with wheels,making it pretty sturdy. But the production models had just the 4 fold up legs and it really wasnt too stable...Just a little more history......al
