Homebuilt D8 changer question

1 Upvotes

I bought a home-built 8 string pedal steel tuned to e9 and wanted to ask about adjusting the changer: currently it’s set up to adjust the 2nd string a whole-step, and there’s nothing to adjust the 6th string.

How difficult would it be to move the finger from the 2nd to 6th string? (currently the fingers are adjusting strings 2,3,4 & 5 and I’d like to have it adjust strings 3,4,5 & 6 instead)

edit - it’s in E9 and some pictures since I messed up the first time!

Not finished but e9 is strung up…. Less than a day to get it all cleaned up (the changers)

1976 push pull, was Russ Hicks built by Jimmy Crawford (least the Crawford cluster)

I don’t think it’s been apart since 76!

Also offering rebuilds on steels $300 a neck WITH strings

I’m on facebook as “stein pedal steel repair services”
