Is there a standard C6 pedal & knee setup for a D10 8&8?
I have 5 knees that work the C6. What's the proper setup?
Thanks for any help!

The proper setup is the one that gets YOU
the harmonic power for your style of music.

8 + 8 will get you pretty much what you want.
I have 8+9 but 8+8 would do in general.

Main things for levers:
Raise C-C#,
Lower top C-B
Raise A to Bb
Lower A-Ab

I also lower E - Eb,
most don't but I need it.

my 9th lever is an inverted Pedal 6

This is an interesting subject. What are the aspects of using different levers and pedal combinations on the left? For example, would raising the C(3rd) call for a left-moving or vertical lever on the left, or is that better on the right?

Raise C-C# is LKV

Lower top C-B is RKL like Big E

Raise A to Bb is RKR

Lower A-Ab is LKR

I also lower E - Eb, LKL
Which I use constantly with RKR
for the relative minor or minor 7 hord


my 9th lever is an inverted Pedal 6 is RKR2
But I want to move it to LKL2


pedals are :
P4 a large Jernigan/Crawford jazzy change
Doug showed me a pretty cool turnaround for it.
P5 standard,
P6 Standard
P7 standard

P8 standard
but with S1 G lowered to Gb
or sometimes raised to G#
I have two rods and choose one or the other
and leave the unused loose.
Either Vb or V# in C
or 9b or IIIb for P6

One thing I like about the bIII lever
I can get a Minor Maj7 chord easily,
which is hip for a VII to I resolve.
