Question John. Do you call the right pedal (clients term) a damper pedal, or a sustain pedal? Or something else? Steinway calls it " Pedal - Right Brass". I think "we" have called it either sustain or damper.

Nice to see you on the list again, Susan. I usually refer to it as the damper stop rail. It is a rail, and stops the damper from going up. "Upstop" seems sort of redundant. Maybe if we wanted to be more persnickety about it, how about the wooden felt-lined damper underlever upward motion inhibitor kinetic energy reverser? :-D -- JF -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
