As an addendum, of course I will try fitting standard wippens from my parts kits and see what happens - no doubt the best way to know for sure. Just was curious if anyone had seen this before in a S&S. As I look at it more, it looks like it's probably a retrofit by some creative tech to create a soft pedal. It looks like aluminum angle with wood rail and various felts. I don't have the instrument to look at the trapwork, just the action. William R. Monroe Hey List, New one on me. I've just taken in an action for rebuild from a S&S M, ca. 1930. The hammer rest rail is solid - and pivots (see photos). What's the scoop? Is this original, or an alteration. It would seem like a "soft-pedal" type of mechanism. Anyone know if there is a problem converting to standard wippens? Thanks for your collective wisdom, William R.
