C 9#5 — C6 Pedal Steel

C 9#5 stacks C – D – E – G# – Bb, and with every pedal up and every lever at rest no bar position on the C6 Pedal Steel sounds that set: at every fret, and on every short slant, a tone it needs is missing or too few strings carry it.

A pedal steel does not stop there. With Pedal 5 engaged, a straight bar at fret 8 spells it — one change is the fewest it takes, and the copedent page lists every position, 7 in all.
