OK Steel Techies.......From a frequency side...where's Middle "C"?
Most of us can find it on a piano but the steel now there's the rub. I know some of you out there have the answer. This is more out of....well just say idle curiosity. As most written music starts at a focal point I wonder after all these years if it really matters as far as the steel is concerned. More fodder for the Steel Mill.

OK I should have known where this was going to go at the start 
I am disappointed. I thought I would get as many responses as that famed author from the Northeast.
And thanks Charlie for the alphabet review.
Dick..didn't miss it till the other day
So I was right.... no one knows or cares where the heck that pesky letter is  |

This is interesting. I believe middle C appears 5 times on a six string guitar, as I recall (making sight-reading harder at least for me). It must be many more on a steel, I would imagine.

String 6 fret 4. (on E9)
" " 7 " " 6
" " 8 " " 8
" " 9 " " 10
" " 10" " 13
String 3 open (On C6)
" " 4 Fret 3
" " 5 " " 5
" " 6 " " 8
" " 7 " " 12
I won't go any further, but you get the idea...This is all without the addition of pedals or levers, which would add even more possibilities. If I've made any mistakes, please excuse me. |
