Michael, We've got our vernacular versions of part names too (worst case being Jim Bryant's universal "thingie"), but back in 1977 Merle Mason et al complied "Piano Parts and Their Functions." If you don't have a Commonwealth version of this I urge you to buy several copies (from the PTG HO) and have your comrades in the PTA agree on what's standard (and clear) common usage in your realm. Otherwise I'll have to sic Joe G. and Tom D. on ya! Best, Patrick Draine
