[HAM] Leslie half-moon versus footswitch

[Bohachewsky, Andrew V.]

I've been thinking of adding a momentary footswitch to use along with
the standard halfmoon. Best of both worlds, easy to add to a SLOW/FAST
switch (which I imagine is what you have since it's controlling a 147 -
adding a momentary fast to a SLOW-OFF-FAST would be trickier).

In the meantime I just force myself to use the left hand. Looks much
better to any Hammond player (of course that's only if you're looking to
impress any Hammond players...). If you can go that route you'll be
right at home in front of any Hammond.

Hi all -

I'm coming out of lurk mode for some advice. I have a modified CV (B+ to
run 
a 147, percussion unit). It has a half-moon switch mounted on the left
side 
of the organ to control the Leslie. I find it kind of annoying to have
to 
use my left hand to work the switch. I'm not a huge pedal player, so I
think 
a footswitch would work better for me. A couple questions:

1. Generally, how do people feel about half-moon vs. footswitch
2. How difficult is it to install a footswitch?

Thanks much.
