After thinking about it, I just tuned the second string down to D. Without changing anything but the tuning it still has the feel stop at C#, then C. Im not sure how that will work out, so far I think I'll like the D there.

Jimmie had a knee lever that took the second string down to a C, and had some real interesting stuff that he used it on. He also took it up to an E on the 10th pedal.

on my Crawford setups, I changed to knee lever that takes it to a C to the more modern 1&7th strings to G# and the second string D to E...

Howard,
The "D" note for the second string may note give you all the scales as easy as the "D#" note,
but the simplicity of raising a half and lowering a half, to me, far out weighs the problem of me never being able to find that half stop when I needed it.
