First, many thanks to all for all the valuable advice I gather from you
wonderful folks. Stuck in a non-resonating wasteland, it's great to read so
many informed discussions on everything you wanted to know about resonators,
but were afraid to ask.
Now my question - Brad's Page of Steel put me onto the C6 tuning, which I
tried out on a cheap lap steel I picked up recently. It's true that
everything sounds a little too Hawaiian until you learn what strings to
avoid, and I'm sure I have this particular string set tuned too high, so
I'll end up getting lighter strings for the bottom three. But it's a very
interesting tuning to work with, and I'll probably leave the lap steel like
this for a while. Does anyone ever put (squareneck) resos into that tuning,
and if so, what weight of string would you recommend?
Any other "non-standard" tunings that people enjoy fooling around with?
Thanks
Hugh
