Global - The Nine-Bass -- Invented by the late, great Rudolph Charles of Desperadoes Steel Orchestra.
According to recognized and globally respected tuner Andy Neils: The Nine-Bass is lower [than the Six-Bass] - beginning most commonly @ G; we sometimes have lower at F, or even E. Comparatively, the Six Bass' lowest note is commonly Bb, sometimes A.”
