upright pedal extenders:update

[David Love]

I have found a company called CPS imports (used to be Hui Imports) that 
makes what they call an adjustable foot-pedal stool.  Sells for $119.95 plus 
$12.00 shipping and handling.  Comes in a variety of finishes.  Haven't seen 
one in person yet but I intend to order one for my son who can't yet reach 
the pedals.  Contact them at 547 E. Cathy Dr., Gilbert AZ, 85296; phone: 480 
632 2075; fax: 480 632 7425; email pianochair@aol.com.
