---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment =20 Avery The college I work for has one circa 1920 ish. How can I help? Dale List, Would anyone happen to have a suggestion on where I might be able to find=20 someone to duplicate/repair a badly messed up pedal lyre on an old Knabe=20 grand, app. 6'3"? I sent an e-mail to a tech friend of mine in this general area but I don't=20 know if he'll have the time to do it, so in the meantime, I thought I'd see if anyo= ne had any other suggestions. I was working with the pedals and suddenly, the whole bottom of it broke=20 and/or came loose. It's obviously been worked on before, not very well. I'm not a=20 good enough woodworker to do this one, so any suggestions would be welcome. Even replacing it. The one pictured in the Schaff catalogue "might" be adaptable but the =20 measurements are somewhat different. Theirs: 21=BC" high, 13=BD" wide @ top, 10" wide @ pedals. Mine: 23" high, 12" wide @ top, 8=BD" wide @ pedals. There is a little flaring out in the design on the Knabe, so there would=20 probably be room to "cheat" a little. It would be nice to have an exact duplicate bu= t=20 I seriously doubt that's possible. Unless someone can duplicate some of the =20 parts. Actually, I just took another look and realized that the only thing that=20 would have to be done is to duplicate the two tapered "legs" between the pedal=20 box and the top and drill out and replace the old dowels that join the two. I'll probably be putting this on the pianotech list tonight when I get=20 home, so I apologize in advance to any of you who will end up getting two of these =20 posts. Thanks.
