mate stubb Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 If it was me, I would try a configuration with the volume pedal on top of the footpedals, more like a real B-3.

b3halt Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 If you wanna learn the proper heel-toe technique, you might wanna make wooden pedal extensions. I think the Crumar pedal is similar to the Roland PK-5 because each plastic pedal piece is attached by two screws. It's pretty simple to replace those pieces. http://sphotos-a.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/526840_4585006779092_1577108394_n.jpg More info about how to make them. https://forums.musicplayer.com/ubbthreads.php/topics/2453810/Wooden_pedal_extensions_for_th#Post2453810 58 Hammond B3, 74 Leslie 122, 61 Leslie 45, Viscount KeyB Legend Live, Hammond SK1, SK2, Nord C2D, Crumar Mojo, Neo Ventilator II, Mini Vent for Organ, Burn, Kawai MP11, Casio PX-350, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Wright Posted January 22, 2013 Author Share Posted January 22, 2013 Yes I recall you posting your modification b3halt! Thanks! Quite a nice job. Such a mod is on my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b3halt Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Thanks Mike. It's pretty simple. You don't have to paint them, but if you do, their surface gets smoother. Also, I recommend to cut all the corners because they are quite sharp. I modified three of the Roland PK-5a like this, and it really works. You can really built your heel toe technique with this kind of thing. Let me know if you have questions. 58 Hammond B3, 74 Leslie 122, 61 Leslie 45, Viscount KeyB Legend Live, Hammond SK1, SK2, Nord C2D, Crumar Mojo, Neo Ventilator II, Mini Vent for Organ, Burn, Kawai MP11, Casio PX-350, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
