upright pedal extenders

[Laura Olsen]

I tried to get more of these from Jansen last fall and they no longer carry
them.  Are they still being sold?  And if so, by whom?

We have had one of these for a couple of years.  My children started playing
using Suzuki method when they were very young, and the teacher wanted us to
buy
one.  It has worked  well.  We bought it through someone else, not Jansen,
but
it sounds like the same thing.  I'm not so sure about the longer practice
time
claim, however.
