11 string tuning

Postby Tony Russell Davis » Thu May 05, 2016 10:44 am

Here's the thing - I have a D-11 Sierra and want some ideas what to tune the extra string on E9th. At the moment it's a low E with no changes attached.
So there's the challenge. What do you think would be useful?
By the way, the C6th was an easy choice, I have a high G at 2 and a D on string 1. :geek:
Fender SM T-8: Shakey 10-plank: Ricky 6: Harmony H7 R Smeck,: plus "home-mades"
Fender D-10: Sierra D-11:
Resos- Goldtone 8 string & Regal 7
FenderTwin: Peavey Delta Blues: Marshall AS50R: DigiTech>GK MB200->Telonics 15"

Hi Tony
There are a number of options. Personally I would keep the low E and lower it to C# on my A pedal.
Show Pro D10 (amber) 8 + 6, MSA Signature XL D10 (redburst) 9 + 6, Sho~Bud D10 (sunburst) Pro 111 8 + 6, Emmons D10 Push Pull - (black) 8+5, Zumsteel D10 (blue) 8 + 8, Hudson pedal resonator, 10 string lap steel. Telonics, Peavey & Webb amps,
