Keith, OK, I think I'm understanding you now. It seems to me that if an item is called a pedal prop bushing (page 131), its intended use would be related to the pedal prop, illustrated on the same page. I think the most likely scenario is between the pedal prop head and the pedal hole. So using it on top of the wooden dowel would not be its intended purpose, but as far as I'm concerned, it doesn't have to be. We technicians can be pretty clever in finding uses for parts in ways that were never intended. I guess I can't expect the woman who takes orders for Schaff to understand how parts are used and/or could be substituted for other purposes. In any case, I appreciate your input, and I intend to order some of these parts for use with the sustain dowel rod. And, they might come in handy with the pedal prop, too! <G> Christmas regards, Clyde Keith McGavern wrote: > Clyde, > > It appears you are referring to something different than what I am > since you say, "that is not their intended purpose". > > Anyhow, I use the rubber prop bushings (page 131, #340) wherever > there is a a dowel wooden rod that has a pin (similar to the Yamaha > item on page 120, #3863) in it.
