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!

<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.

Do you mean something like this?

I do not think that box does that. It allows you to add an expression pedal to a midi stream.

Then I didn't understand what he's searching

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.

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 (?)

Btw I sold the Nord Pedal Keys 27 and I bought this Viscount MIDI 27 Pedalboard:
