Do you lower your 9th string from D to C# Derek?

1. Tune the 2nd string lower to a C# as normal.

2. Now using the nylon tuner for the 9th string, tune it to "feel" the D note on the 2nd string, as it just begins to start moving.

3. Then tune the 9th string lower to C# with the allen "split" screw.
