| I've been enjoying watching Herbert Hanawahine perform at the "Oct 8th 2021 HSGA Festival 2" and was wondering if anybody knows what tuning he was using? He was known to play a triple neck steel that had E7, C13 and B11 as his tunings. The 7 string tuning could be Jerry Byrd's C6 tuning with a C# on the bottom, but I'm not finding it on my C6 Lap Steel. Maybe it's C6 with a high G? Herbert, was into Benny Rodger's E7 tuning and could play like him when he wanted. Here's the link of Herbert playing a very relaxed Hawaiian steel guitar style on his Ric Panda, about the middle of the show. https://ms-my.facebook.com/471122866328580/videos/264685648848801/?__so__=permalink |

I have no insight on Herbert Hanawahine's tuning, but I sincerely appreciate your sharing this link, Jesse. I have heard one recording of Moana Chimes by him, but otherwise nothing else, and have been hoping to see and hear more from him for years now. I'm really grateful, and I hope somebody chimes in...

| It sounds like C13 to me. I think I hear a 7th and root on the bottom. My guess is E C A G E C Bb. Thanks for sharing this, what beautiful playing. |
