I’ve been watching your Evening of E9 video and am trying to decipher some of your sounds and moves, and have some questions.

During Cold Cold Heart you augment the melody with some beautiful harmonies that are almost “church” or piano-like in quality.

According to the tuning chart on the forum you split the typical pedal 4 change (lowering B and G#) between your knee levers.

Along with the G# lower on the vertical do you lower the E a half? Or do you hit both knee levers at the same time?

The middle note of D is a pedal-tone throughout the first two bars.

Am I close? I rewound the video a bunch of times!

Thanks for your inspiring music.

Cheers,

Hi Drew,
Thank you for purchasing our video, we really appreciate it.
I believe both levers were used at the same time as you thought, lowering the 6th(G#) a whole and on the LL lowering the 4th (E) a half tone.
My best,
