The first clip is played on an Acoustic Steel in a
diatonic tuning. Note the dry timbre as per an archtop sound. Followed by Eight string Lap Steel with C6th set up and Low F on the bottom.
Very beautiful in Nova Scotia this time of year
and this song really fits. Also Thanksgiving weekend for us here in Canada!!!!
Regards to all.

Hi Roy
I enjoyed both renditions Of "Autumn Leaves", but the 8 string electric steel version is my favorite. 
We are having extended summer like weather here in the Puget Sound area, sunny & mid 60s---low 70s. It's a bit unusual for us, since we normally have rain by now.

What exactly is your diatonic tuning? I heard recently that Jerry Byrd used it but I don't remember where.

Thanks fellas for listening and the nice comments!
Dan, the tuning is not the Jerry Byrd Diatonic. Here it is high to low: E-C#-B-A-G#-G-F#-F-E-C# more commonly referred to as the Alkire tuning.

I especially like the sounds of the diatonic tuning.
