I wanted to post on the Day vs Emmons setup and was told it was full and no more replies were possible and to start a new thread. Ok..
If you ask a Foot specialist , he will tell you that the ankle will bend on the inside a lot more and easier than the other way arounmd.
Saying this, The Day setup should be physically easier to use.
But I use the Emmons setup, Why?, just as others on this post has said. -most of the steels etc, are geared that way. If you sit in with a band , you will usually find the Emmons setup.
Also in my case, I play a E6-9 setup and my LKR is the Eb's so that goes good with Emmons setup for me as I use it with pedals 5 and 6 for the sixth part of the tuning. That is one reason that makes the steel guitar so different from a Piano, You can change the tuning....Viva la difference...all

I agree. Another similar thing to consider is when one attends a steel guitar show and wants to jam in one of the vendor rooms on their display models, 9 times out of 10, it will have the Emmons setup.
The Carter site shows a most requested E9 setup and that would be a good one to start out with, at least.

| Why would ankle movement issues matter? After all, you have to bend both ways, no matter which way you order the pedals. |

| In normal pedal steel work, you're holding "B" down and working the "A" pedal a lot more frequently than you're holding the "A" pedal down and working the "B". |
