What a monster ! ... I want to learn this version (minus the baritone neck)...

.. He plays this in Eb right ? What are the tunings used on the middle 2 necks ? Sounds like the main (3rd) neck might be a high C6 ? Any help would be appreciated.

"Steelin Home" was written by Noel Boggs. He recorded it with Spade Cooley. I'm not sure, but he might have recorded it previously with Hank Penny.

It sounds like key of E flat and looks like the necks are
low B6
normal B6
E flat 13
(unused)
but it's much easier to believe that the recorded pitch got lowered somehow, and that he actually played in key of E, on C6 and E13 tunings.
