After a 25 year seperation from the pedal steel I just jumped back in with a newly delivered vintage D10 BMI. Over the years I've lost my tuning chart for chromatic tuning and I'm relying on my memory... that aint good! I'm not at all happy with my present tuning, so can you help? I'm tuning most of the strings at .34 - .38. My Korg tuner has a needle readout (no lcd's) with adjustable tuning and standard of A=.440.
Does anyone have a chart or can give me their setup per string? Thanks!

Also... I just changed the strings on the guitar for the first time and it's breaking the 3rd (G#) string when I depress the B pedal to tune to A. I've adjusted the "stop" but no luck so far. Any suggestions there? It worked fine and had no string breakage until I changed the strings.[/b]
