Re: Knee Levers
Fred - Read and heed Burt's last two paragraphs! The location of the levers need to be in a position where YOU ARE COMFORTABLE! There's no sense in undergoing surgery to add another joint to your leg just to activate a pedal and lever simultaneously. Try sitting at the instrument and note where your...

Trying to find one was very frustrating so I resorted to fabricating one from separate pieces. Used a piece of 5/8" square 6061 aluminum. Why 5/8"? to give some lateral stability since the ...

Re: Changer Finger Design
Georg - I place little credence in anecdotal "evidence". I have no doubt that, when some people change their bar to a larger diameter, they are anticipating a change and, thus, their imaginations tend to fulfill their anticipations.
