Kawai una corda lever, thanks

[DChadPiano@AOL.COM]

List members, 

Thanks for the suggestions! I think the best approach for me would to use 
Jim's suggestion and manufacture one out of pinblock material to use until 
the factory part arrives. It is a heavily used pedal by the pianist so it 
will be interesting to see how the wooden replacement responds. Maybe several 
coats of West System on the lever will hold the laminations rigid and prevent 
flexing.

 David;
  Ten or twelve years ago I found myself in a similar situation on a Sojin (I 
 think).
 Anyway, there was also to be a six to eight month wait for the part and I 
 made a "temporary" lever from scrap pinblock stock. I oriented the 
 laminations vertically.
  That was, as I said, ten or twelve years ago, the new lever never came in 
 and the "temporary" lever is still functioning just fine.........perhaps 
this 
 would work in your situation...perhaps not.
