For Reese re-alternate tuning

Post by Andy Greatrix »

I have an MSA single ten semi-classic,
with 3+4 peddles.
I have questions if you have the time.

I have a ten-string lap steel that I have tuned to E13
I use the same set of strings as an E9th
(They are easier and cheaper to aquire than a custom set.)
My tuning is
G#
F#
E
C#
B
G#
F#
E
D
B

My question is - If I changed the tuning of My MSA to the tuning of my lap-steel, could I change the peddles of My MSA Semi-classic and what would you suggest to get altered chords with this tuning? The Semi-classic is limited compared to triple raise, triple lower etc.
What I hear in my head is sort of a Tenor version of C13th.

My e-mail is andygreatrix@hotmail.com
Thankyou in advance.

Andy
PS Maybe I'm going nuts, but since I'm not getting a lot of work these days on steel, (mostly bass and guitar)I can have fun experimenting.<FONT SIZE=1 COLOR="#8e236b"><p align=CENTER>[This message was edited by Andy Greatrix on 21 September 2003 at 04:24 PM.]</p></FONT><FONT SIZE=1 COLOR="#8e236b"><p align=CENTER>[This message was edited by Andy Greatrix on 21 September 2003 at 04:28 PM.]</p></FONT><FONT SIZE=1 COLOR="#8e236b"><p align=CENTER>[This message was edited by Andy Greatrix on 21 September 2003 at 04:31 PM.]</p></FONT>
