My thought is to rout out a small area of partial thickness (maybe a quarter inch or so) on bottom of the middle board of the keyframe (the one that has the center rail mounted on it - the rear rail is already routed out for the place where the una-corda pedal used to engage the keyframe. Then install a hunk of hard maple that would run from the middle board to the rear board on the keyframe. Keep the maple hunk maybe a half-inch thick or so - keep it flush with the bottom of the other two keyframe boards (not too high, not too low). Position it correctly so that the una-corda lever will engage it, put a strip of leather on the correct edge, charge the owner a handsome but fair fee (couple hundred bucks), and then smile when she praises the wonderful job I did (and then smile again when I cash her check). Terry, Is there any way to put some kind of extension on the lever that wouldn't flex too much?? Just a thought. Your way sounds good and more permanent, for sure. Have a great bike ride!
