In theory, it does, but given that in the 18th century pedalboards were of all sizes and styles, probably not that much. I play both stylers and the hinge position isn't what holds me back!
As I say, if you want to do later classical organ music, you will really want a radiating board with, as you point out, the hinges at the back under the bench. Have a look at the 'Short Nord Pedal Keys 27?' thread a few back from this one and you'll find a link to pedamidikit.org, who will ship anywhere. Lots of pictures; you should be satisfied as to construction, I think.

Thanks!
I might even consider two pedalboards, one stationary at home (from pedalmidikit) and one for transportation (the Nord pedalboard)
Thanks you all for your help!

Re: Pedals for C2D
<i>"There is a setting on the Nord where you can only play one note at a time (with B3 and the other modelled organs) - that's a fairly common thing for bass pedals"</i>
The "sustain" feature on the "synth bass" setting cuts a note off, no matter where it's set, when the next pedal note is depressed. This makes walking bass-lines with one foot smooth.
That is a great price ($575) and a great weight (15 lbs) and a great look on that 24-note JG3 pedals! Glad to know about that!
It just hit me! Somebody should make just a midi-signal box, which a standard set of Hammond pedals will slide into just like they do the organ. Hammond pedal-sets are easy to obtain. All you buy is the box, and any Hammond series-3 pedal set will work! Make sure it has USB, too.

I don't think that is critical, if the pedalboard is MIDI DIN only you can just add a (good) MIDI USB interface cable, if needed. Afaik commercial organ pedalboards usually come with MIDI DIN only.

Re: Pedals for C2D
I do not think that box does that. It allows you to add an expression pedal to a midi stream.

Re: Pedals for C2D
It looks to me, to be sold at that price, these pedal-sets are made from vintage Hammond pedal-sets, taken apart, and put back together in a 16 and 24 note configuration. There's no way anybody could duplicate the wood and finish of vintage Hammond pedals today, I don't think.
Okay, instead, why not simply make the back-end box which will accept any standard (series -3) pedal-set? Yes, it would be very wide, as there's a couple of inches extra on each end. You just shove your pedal-set into it, hook up the MIDI cable (or USB conversion cable) and away you go. Could even be battery operated.

Re: Pedals for C2D
Technically it is possible and not so complicated to do whay you say, Mooser, but probably no one thinks there is enough market demand for that (?)
