To me phrasing is what separates good players from great players! So grateful that we are able to learn from the very best in the world today!

I bought a pedal steel. No obvious demarcation on what brand it is so I’m thinking it could be homebuilt. I was unsure whether it was E9 or C6, so I tuned it to C6 because it seemed closer. I then realized I had bought a 12 string. Could you please shed light on the following: -Can you tune a C6 neck to E9 or an E9 neck to C6? -Is there a way to tell a C9 neck from a E9 neck with nothing much to go on? The only word I can find on the guitar is “stokes” on the neck. -What would both tunings be for a 12 string? -How do levers and pedals differ on the 12 to the ten sting? Thank you so much.

Best bet for advice on that subject would be The Steel Guitar Forum. Lots of info there on 12-strings and tunings.
