Hi All
Interesting that, after a bit more research I have found that most US players as you say don’t use pedals much, whereas players in the rest of the world (Particularly Europe) place a much greater emphasis on them. (I am Not including Classical trained or Theatre organists, some of who can play Flight of The Bumble Bee on them)
It is also interesting to note that, (Although I am not sure about the US) the most popular add on for an Arranger is a set of Bass Pedals. (Manufactures have to make sure that their stands designed for arrangers can accommodate a set of Bass Pedals, or they don’t sell many)
Isn’t it great to have such diversity in the world, life would be really boring if every country was the same.
Regards

Bill
