Well some people do think I gargle with whiskey, and have smoked since childhood (not true on both counts, haha)

Western swing and much traditional country music uses 6th tunings predominantly: Don Helms' E6 with Hank Williams, A6 for Leon McAuliffe and my own mentor Herb Remington with Bob Wills, and C6 for many, many others. Fortunately, you don't need to decide ahead of time; a single set of strings can accommodate many different tunings without compromising sound quality. Here's a chart listing some of the possibilities that can be achieved with a typical six-string set nominally offered for C6 tuning. (Gauges may vary slightly from one brand of string to another, but any six-string C6 set will work well for all of these tunings.) Code:
Str .036 .030 .024 .022 .017 .014 C6 C E G A C E C7 C E G Bb C E A6 C# E F# A C# E A7 C# E G A C# E E6 B E G# B C# E E7 B D E G# B E E9 B D F# G# B E E13 B D E G# C# E B11 B D# F# A C# E JB* C# E G A C E WL** C# E G A# C D **WL = William Leavitt's tuning, designed to play a wide variety of chords without slanting the bar.

I think the moderators should make a lap steel or pedal steel part of this forum. I am glad to see so much response in this thread.

I play a NIOMA through a 1958 Tweed Deluxe and an Iseman Weissenborn with a Duncan MagMike into a K&K preamp then into the pa. . Since we added a pedal steel player, I am off the hook, but I have reformed the blues band so I can get crazy again.
Here is a NIOMA for sale: https://shop.gryphonstrings.com/prod...x-string-49726 I suspect NIOMA steels were made by Supro. Mine can sing, scream, or roar.
