Where should your knees be when you are sitting at a pedal steel? I am really not sure but I am a pretty big guy (6' 2"). I feel like the legs on my Carter Starter are not long enough for me. Is there a home remedy or do I have to go with the Carter over height kit?
Thanks in advance!

| Chris, you can lengthen the back legs and play at an angle. I don't like this method. Other than that, go with the leg extensions. Or you can order new front legs cut to your specs. |

Chris,
The way I checked mine ...If you have some 3/4" wood scraps, put them under all 4 legs, also use a board/scrap to rest your foot on at the pedals, when you find a comfortable hight, you can then order a lift kit, or make spacers for the front legs, and extentions for the pedal rods. Do this on a hard surface.
Edited to say...Oops, didn't notice you have a Carter starter..[non adjustable legs], but you can still determan a comfortable hight this way.
