I'm considering in a Sd10 and convert to C6. Could it be set up to use AB pedals to change to standard 1,4,5 changes. The steel is 3X4. What C6 tuning would you suggest. I like the high G or G#. I started out on 8sting C6 with 3pedals years ago and I would like to start learning it again. Suggestions would be apprieciated. I could use it without pedals if necessary. thank you for your help.

How about P1=P4 (half stop at Bb EDIT: perhaps 4 to Bb and 8 to B), P2=P6, P3=P8, LKL lowers 4 to G# and 8 to G, LKR=P5, RKL=P7 and RKR lowers 3 to B?

I thought I wanted to try that, but you all scare me just talking about it.

If you added 2 more pedals you could have the same
5 X 4 C-6th setup as Buddy Emmons. Smile

Hey Bob were you thinking of converting the Carter? What did you plan to use for E9 tuning ? I thought all you had was the Carter, and the Fessy universal. Were you just going to use the Fessy for E9?

Didn't Redd Volkaert get an S-10, and set it up for C6, a few years ago?

Does anyone out there who mostly uses a single E9 carry a separate C6 for occasional use alongside it? (Instead of rigging a D10 every time but maybe not using the rear neck.) Just wondering - plenty of players of other instruments carry more than one.

Here you go, Bob:
Tab:
    LKL LKR   p1  p2  p3   RKL RKR
G            ++A
E       +F        +F
C                          ++D  -B
A                          ++B
G            ++A     -F#   
E       -Eb       +F
C   +C#   
A                             
F   -E               +F#
C  ---A              ++D


P1 and P2 work like the A+B pedals of E9th. P3 and the knee levers are standard C6th changes.
