Never studied classical organ, but did a little bit in churches from time to time. Glorious sound! I envy you your studies...

I used to hold down a trio in the seventies kicking pedals and LH bass on an old Hammond, playing holiday camps in England (Tommy, can you hear me?!). That was the last time I used pedals, at least professionally...

I kind of miss them, but prefer to stand while I play, and that makes pedals a little difficult!!

(And no, I don't miss the weight of that Hammond one little bit!)
