Yo, you americans, you!
I work at a place part time that has 
nothing to do with pianos (ecept the 
fact that I tune the ones here that they 
have) but have come across a 
"thingy" when spending time here. There has 
been some pianotuners/techs here 
before me who have put some 
wheels on a piano and Ive even seen 
this thing being done with other 
pianos/grands which iiiiiis: the damn 
wheels are put on too high! That 
means that the pedals hang too high 
and the player has to put his foot up 
too much AND all of this obviously 
puts some unnecessary pressure on 
the pedals . The musician feels 
uncomfy and the piano/grand is 
damaged in the long run. To me, 
who is a newbie in the business see 
this fault at once and I am amazed that this 
is being done by so called 
"proffecionals" (<---said in a voice 
like "what IS the world coming 
too?!?!?"). Do you ppl. have any 
"general" tip/idea as to how many cm the 
pedals "should" be seperated from 
the floor? To me, I guess, I use my 
common sence but IS there actually 
somekind of mesurement you have 
here that you use often?

Cu,
Maria
