How complicated is the original half moon switch really?
I'm thinking since any sustain pedal can be used as on/off for the rotor - how much more difficult can the half moon be?
Would it be sufficient to figure out which circuit to close and make a Telecaster 3-way switch gizmatrix instead..?
Or is it more complicated than that?

Re: DIY half moon switch?
I have the Nord half moon switch on my stage 3 compact and if I had it to do over I'd not bother getting it.
Aftertouch is better as it doesn't require a hand and the switch gets in the way slightly around the lowest A key.

@fieldflower: Search the forum and you will find some people have made their own half moon switches. Not a lot of science to it.

I'm kinda on that line of thinking - if I can make one at a (much) lower cost it's a fun thing to have...

OK, will give the search another go.
Tried it but obviously not in the right way...

That's great!
Searched some more but didn't find that thread.
OK, DIY is on!

I have a half moon switch (Hammond XK3c type) with a 1/4” plug on the end. I just need a good easy way to mount it to my NS3 88. I’ve tried tape AND velcro. I’d be happy to buy a mount if someone is making one
