This page should help: https://www.hawaiiansteel.com/tunings/master.php
The low C in C6 tunings would be C3.
John Ely also has a list of suggested string gauges for individual pitches on that site, taking neck scale into account.
(So, what was your “dumb†question?)

I thought I looked over John's page pretty good but didn't see that info. The little acoustic practice board I've built https://bb.steelguitarforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=331791, I want to use acoustic strings, with as little tension on them as possible,,,and need this info to calculate the strings on the D'Addario web site.
