Hello All,

This request came to me from another tuner in NZ not on this list. 

"I have a client who plays and teaches a lot of piano,
who has developed an affliction in her feet/ankles
which means she can't use the pedals on her piano. 
Does anyone know of a system which would allow a
pianist to operate the pedals by moving a leg from
side to side. (She has bad knees as well.)  Is there
something commercially available, or failing that, has
anyone ever constructed such a device, and have a
design for one?  Ideally she would like something that
can be transferred from piano to piano - I don't know
how feasible that would be.  

Any thoughts or ideas would be very, very welcome."

Post any ideas either to the list or to me privately. 
Many thanks.

Regards
