You can't go wrong with C6 and B11.

| The original Hawaiian tuning was an A, high or low bass. On an 8 string neck, I like to put an F# in there to make it an A6th. |

| Henry, I use a C13th (same as C6th but with a Bb for the seventh string) on my inside neck and a B11th on the outside of my double 8. I normally keep both necks on and go back and forth between the two for a number of tunes. These two tunings compliment each other beautifully and you eventually get familiar with the chord locations on both. |
