[pianotech] No Bridle Tapes

[John Ross]

Big question is, did you fix the pedal?
A newbie, might have thought some pieces were missing. LOL

Yeah, I remember those late 70s Kimballs...  That same model also had
what I called a "chaperone" pedal.  It was just there to keep the
other two separated.

Useless as...,   but it did call me out on a warranty call to see why
the middle pedal didn't work on their new piano. (I was a newbie,
then, too.)
