D 9#11 — C6 Pedal Steel

D 9#11 stacks D – E – F# – G# – A – C, 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 the nut spells it — one change is the fewest it takes, and the copedent page lists every position, 7 in all.
