The posting was rejected with no reason given so I believe the photo files might have been to large. I reduced the resolution of the photos as much as possible and still retain detail and would like to post the question again to Pianotech . I believe the photos are essential to clarify the question. Any help you can give will be appreciated. Thank you, Wayne Matley RP ........................................................ Malcom Love upright circa 1898-1903. Good general condition for it's age. I have been a member of PTG since 1963 and active in piano tuning and repair since 1960 and have never before ran across an action such as this: The piano has a standard upright action with the exception of having an *adjustable wippen rail. Adjusted up and down with shims.* More unusual is, the *right *pedal actuates a rod, like the damper rod, that lifts a series of small levers, accomplishing nothing, so it appears some part or parts might have been removed at some time. On the keyboard side of the action are visible wires connecting adjacent levers one each side of the wippens that lift when a key is played, still accomplishing nothing. It is *not *a player piano with the player mechanism removed. The *damper pedal is in the center *and is obviously designed that way and operates normally. Any information that could be provided will be greatly appreciated. Wayne Matley RPT The *damper pedal is in the center *and is obviously designed that way and operates normally.
