The other video where I explained the tuning's versatility is "Jerry Byrd and Marty Robbins Beyond the Reef"

On one of the other Jerry Byrd/Marty Robbins videos I described the tuning in full. Briefly it's C6th BUT a 7 string version that uses a C# as well. From the 1st string, E-C-A-G-E-C then, A or C# depending on the song/tune. Commonly called the C6/A7 tuning.

rev: you are right. Two Armenian - american brother in California started making resophonic guitars to help guitarists keep up with loud horns in the band the Dobro. National Steel is another. Electric guitars came along, they replaced resophonic guitars. Hawaiian steel lap guitars are different in many ways. Bob Brozman is a master at steel lap. Anyone interested in a better hist and the music, check him out. He has several instructional videos as well as concerts with Ledward Kaapana.

Most historical accounts confirm Jerry Byrds account. It is also mentioned in Lap Steel Guitar by Andy Volk. I don't believe it is nonsense. Jerry Byrd is considered to be one of the all time greats of non pedal steel guitar
