.OK guys I know there might not be no one answer to this.But I would like the easiest simplest component set up for a shobud Baldwin cross over. its going to have only 8 or 10 strings set up on the neck closet to you its got 6 pedals no knee levers nor am I going to add any. now what tunning would you use on this its going to be for gospel music. would you use a E9 or C6 tunning and how would you set the pedals to do what and how. could you post me a component chart to do this as many of you know. I haven't been around pedal steel in 20 yrs or better I been hooked up with dobro till my medical problems. I am trying to get this going for a grand son. now I need this to be set up the simplest way that also has traning material learning material that a person can get to learn on thanks any help appericated thanks

| The front neck is most likely set up for E9 already. You might want to contact David Jackson at Jackson Steel Guitars. David and sacred steeler Chuck Campbell have been working on a setup for new players in the sacred steel format. His set up involves 4 pedals and no knee levers. |

I think you're looking for the copedent. This is the copedent chart for a crossover that b0b posted in another thread.
As a beginner, I'd agree with keeping as much in line with available lesson materials as possible. Thus, I too would keep the E9 as-is, std E9 Nashville tuning, std A B & C pedals and get the E raise on one of the remaining pedals so he's got both the E raise and lower available. If you've got ABC and the E raise and lowers, you've got all you need to learn on.
Edit: This shows the E to F on the 6th pedal but only for the 8th string so you'd just have to add a pull to the 4th string to raise it as well and maybe another on the 4th pedal for the 8th string to lower it too.

| Brian thanks I was going to do away with one neck and make it SD10 I think I can use the extra pedals to get what I need the chart you supplied is that a standard E9 set up if I use it I can play most the E9 stuff out there or do I need to tune it a little different thanks |

The first three pedals are standard emmons set up for E9. If you want a std copedent for E9 to the extent that there is a standard, click on the links menu at the top of the forum and then click on "copedents". It'll show E9 as well as versions that well known players use.
It seems the consensus is that the most important changes are the A B and C pedal and the E to Eb / E to F knee levers which you'll do with pedals instead.
Personally I'd leave the C6 neck and tune it like a lap/console steel but I understand the crossovers are heavy so I can sympathize with removing it entirely. My LDG in it's case is a lot heavier than I'd expected it to be...
