C# maj7#11 — E9 Pedal Steel

C# maj7#11 stacks C# – E# – F## – G# – B#, and with every pedal up and every lever at rest no bar position on the E9 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 LKV engaged, a straight bar at fret 9 spells it — one change is the fewest it takes, and the copedent page lists every position, 8 in all.
