Clusters: How far inside is optimal?

Lane Gray · From: Topeka, KS

I've decided that U-12 needs at least a 6th, LKR is first (I want an analog of 1st raise, 6 lower).
Those that cluster, how far inside of the first one works best? And I assume it should go a bit to the left as well.

To overcome the MSA *KL limitations, I'm buying a Zum lever and bracket, with the reversing pivot on the bracket (I dig his design).

So where, relative to the existing LKR, does LKOR mount for most practical use?

Lane, I just moved mine around till they felt good.None of us are built the same. or sit at the guitar exactly the same. For staggard left knee's. I like my primary out front.Pretty much in line with my LKR. And the lesser used knee to the back.

For staggard right knee's. I have the lesser used knee out front where I have to reach just a little to get to it. And the primary pretty much where they're generally hung. Your mileage may vary.

The only thing I know for sure. If any pedal or knee lever is uncomfortable for you to play. Then it will sound that way in ones playing.

I've made mine in to self players for me. But they might feel terrible to most.

However, I'm the one that's got to play em. So this time it's all about ME ME ME.
