If you have not lissened to Bobs videos,take a listen
I find bobs eight string tuning something to think
about.
It sounds so good now I wonder why I have carried
a d10 all these years,I love what he does with it,
very nice BOb. |

Here are the links to the recordings:
Wine Country Swing
Cowboy Country Revisited
This is the copedent:
<center>
</center>It's D6, in between C6 and E9. The first two pedals are from E9, and the other 3 are from C6.
It doesn't have a lot of things, but it has enough. Since I don't really have to copy anyone else's parts, I can get away with it.

Note: anyone thinking about a steel like this but wants the Stringmaster sized string spacing should consider a Williams. Bill Rudolph can make then in this wider string spacing. Also Jerry Wallace can make 8-string Truetones in the Stringmaster spacing as well.

I forgot to mention that LKR is a standard C6th pedal, too. It's pedal 7 on a D-10. The only C6th pedal that's missing is pedal 4, which a lot of people are doing without these days anyway.

Your pedals and higher strings are close to what Red Rhodes did. He had a lever similar to this but the B string (actually C on his E flat tuning) went up only a half step. |

John Hughey had that on his C6th LKV. Some people get the same effect with a tunable split on the Ab lever, so that P7+Ab makes a C9th chord.
I'm thinking of adding a lower rod to the 3rd string on RKR, in addition to the raise rod. The raise rod would pull B up to C# but the lower rod would pull it back to C at the same time. No real change to the copedent chart but when combined with LKR I'd have the Red Rhodes change you describe.
