This 10-string set, assembled by Steel Guitar Forum founder Bobby Lee, is exclusive to the Steel Guitar Shopper catalog.  This set of Black Diamond strings is tuned a step lower than the standard E9th.  The D9th tuning is ideal for Americana and rock music.

If you are changing from E9th, you will have to adjust the 6th string (2nd pedal) linkage for longer travel, as it uses a wound 6th string instead of plain.

A typical D9th copedent is shown below. Some people would swap LKR and RKL (personal preference).

Here is a more advanced D9th for modern guitars with four pedals and five knee levers.  The changes are consistent with E9th and include the LKV, P4 and RKR changes of Johnny Cox's 12-string D13th universal tuning.
