I've only played my GFI, regular Emmons tuning.

There are times that I wish I could right knee left to raise 1 and 2 without lowering the 6th. But I also want to lower the 6th on the same knee.

I'm used to the four knee levers, but I see guitars that have a bunch of levers under there, and am wondering if that means if there are two levers ready for the right knee-if that could be made to use-and to choose-each of those. It seems daunting to me especially with the volume pedal sensitive to that as well (my foot is subject to my knee moving sometimes-working on it).

Question is: are there players who use two close levers to choose between, or do they go without the 6th lower on the right knee.

At this stage I don't want to deviate from the standard Emmons set up.

Thanks!

I use the LKV to lower the 6th 1 full tone and to raise 1 a 1/2 tone, while I still have the F# and Eb raise on my RKR.
