Usually for the front you have a crank with no ring on the right and a ring on the left. So you can't use a regular crankset, unless you use double sided pedals and are okay with them wanting to unscrew themselves.
Have a Google for stronglight impact tandem crankset. That's what we have and they do the job for not too much £££

I'm considering building up a tandem this summer. Other than the obvious (long chain, cables etc) what tandem standards are going to cause me issues?
Can I use a standard crankset on the front then the stoker has tandem specific cranks or is the eccentric bb usually wider?
