For the last year, I have become accustomed to playing this tuning on a 12 string non-pedal instrument. Certain all will recognize it as standard C6 with re-entrants on the top, D and B, and the lowest string tuned up a whole tone from the root;
D Whole tone above the 5th string
B 1/2 tone below the 5th string
G
E
C
A
G
E
C
A
F
D
I recently acquired a Fessy 12 string universal, which is sitting in my workshop waiting for me to reinstall all the rods. It is a 5 levers and 7 pedals hardware configuration.
What I am presenting here is perhaps a bit of help to decide which tuning should be installed.
My interests are not E9-centric by any means, although it would be very nice to be able to set things up where a few pedal sounds could be emulated, perhaps in concert with the two chromatics(anderson d and b) which I have learned to use in a similar manner to the ones on a standard E9 setup.
I am considering possible either just setting it up in my current non-pedal tuning with the addition of a few standard C6 pedal changes, or possibly with this tuning installed verbatim, with the caveat that I need to of course leave off one of the pedals, since I only have 7 to work with;
I know this is somewhat of a vague question. Just looking for ideas...
Thanks.

| So for now i settled on Bb6/Eb9, with the top chromatic tuned to C and raised to a D with the same lever that raises my D's to Eb, RKL, and sacrificed the second(B) as relegated to the RKR. With addition of a half step lower on the top string on LKL, with emmons pedals. Giving the standard second chromatic half tone lower, only in a strange place! Now to get my muscles trained to find that other chromatic between the place we all think of as between the G# and the E..? |
