tuning illumination needed

Scott Appleton · From: Ashland, Oregon

i have set my S10 NP up E, B, C#,E,F#,A,C#,E,F#,A
It has alot of that A6/E6 and you can get around on it with slants. I am only trying to get that Hank sound
but a straight E6 just doesnt sound quite rite to my ear. Am i off on the wrong track or what? Jerry Bird
played which version of C6 on the early Hank recordings? Should I be setting up a C6 tuning and learning that instead of my whacky tuning above/
Any one have suggestions.

Lo to Hi:
C–E–G–A–C–E = Early-C6th.
Lo-A–C–C#–E–G–A–C–E = 8-str. C6/A7.
F–A–C–E–G–A–C–E–G–D = Billy Robinson 10-str.
Lo-A–C–C#–E–G–A–C–E–B–D = My 10-str. version. {just a wish!}
