After market practice pads

[Geoff Sykes]

I recently received a request to install an after market practice pad on a
new upright piano. The middle pedal is bass sustain. The manufacturer of the
piano, even though they market a piano where the middle pedal is bass
sustain and the practice pad is activated with a lever under the keybed,
does not sell the practice pad as an add on. The only third party practice
pad I was able to find was the Quiet Keys System. While it did accomplish
the task, both the customer and I felt that it was cheap in both design and
materials. In fact it showed serious signs of rust in only the first month.
And this is Southern California in the Summer. Does anyone know of a third
party practice pad system for uprights other than Quite Keys?
