Sorry if this sounds stupid but everyone talks about their different copedants and which pedals/levers lower which strings etc. My questions is, doesn't that mean the chords change and everyone who has a different copedant has to to learn different chords?

Not in most cases Daniel,

Here is why. There are standard changes that most players use. However some put these changes in different places.

Example: instead of lowering the E's on LKR, a few might do it on RKL. Etc, etc. But the chord is the same.

It was thought for a long time (and some still believe it) that there will never be a standard. I disagree totally on this. While it is true, we will always have a miniscule few who cut their own paths, we are approaching a definite standard closer and closer every year.

In fact, MOST of what manufacturer's ship is the same. Again, a few want it setup differently. But in most cases the standard is what is shipped.

I think it is a blessing. I can't imagine a piano or a flute or sax etc, being built where the white and black keys or the holes all do different things.

Time will prove (or disprove) all thesisees, and you raised a good question Daniel
