I have a GFI student model, 3+3 and I am looking ahead to adding a RKL knee lever. What would be the most useful copedant for the RKL? I am an intermediate level player and would want the lever to do something useful. Any suggestions?

I like to lower my B strings 1/2 step. I used to have that pull on RKL. I have a vertical lever for that now. My RKL now raises strings 1 and 2. 1st string up a whole, and 2nd up a 1/2. I can easily feel for a 1/2 step on string 1, which makes it nice.

I have (3)-recommendations, in this order:
#1. Raise 1 (1-tone), Raise 2 (½-tone) and Lower 6 (1-tone).
#2. Raise 1 (½-tone) and Lower 6 (1-tone).
#3. Raise 1 (½-tone) and Raise 7 (½-tone).

What I'd put on:

6th string lower to F# with a half-stop for G.

(Personally, I'd move the E lowers to RKL and put the above change on LKR.)
