I have been playing for some time, but I always hear players talk about the pedal height.Some have the A pedal slightly higer than the B and/or the C pedal a little lower than the A&B. And some say they should all be even. Would like some feed back .Thanks

That depends entirely on your anatomy, and maybe the shoes you are wearing.

Personally, on my Carter, B is too high relative to A, and A is too high relative to B.... it's driving me nuts. Hope you're better off.

Hans is right and also you need to have them adjusted so when you rock onto a pedal you are not partially engaging the adjacent pedal.

Wilburn - Pedal height is always a matter of personal comfort and how felxible your ankles are. I adjust my pedals so that when they're fully depressed, they just miss hitting the floor. That lowers the angle I have to hold my foot when I'm not pushing the pedals.
