| For those of you that have chosen to raise the 3rd string C to C# on the C6th tuning, how many also raise the 7th string C to C# with the same knee lever? What are the advantages and disadvantages of having these changes operate together versus separately (as with pedal 8 )? |

| I have 3 & 7 raising on my keyless Excel S10 with 3P & 5K.....on my LKR, 4 to Bb on my LKL, 3 & 4 raising a whole tone on RKL (standard use of P7 on C6th!) and RKR lowers 3 to B! LKV lowers 4 to Ab. P1 raises 3 & 6 Es to Fs, P2 is std P5 to the D9th raising 10 to D, 9 to F# and lowering 5 to F#. P3 is the std P6.....raises 2 to F & lowers 6 to Eb. For the curious my 1st string is D as soon as I realized that Buddy had done that. He's my "best of show"! meaning "Top Dog"!!! |

| On the standard C6 setup, raising both Cs to C#s gives you a full major chord across the neck, at the "three frets up" position, replicating the root fret chords at one inversion higher, exactly like the A and E to F lever position does on the E9th neck. Gives you the "3 frets higher" moves, as well as replacing the high inversion lost if using a high D string in place of a G, extra blues or minor position, etc. A really great C6 lever! |

I raise them both.
My 1st string is a D, so I don't have the usual 6th chord with a 5 note on top. But with the C#'s on 3 and 7, if you add pedal 5, you have a full A6th chord on strings 2 thru 9.
However, if you tune JI those F#'s will sound sour. |
