Damper pedal modifications

[Norm Barrett]

Annie,
I don't know about the pedal but I have been wearing trifocals for 
years. As an organist the problem is even worse because the music rack 
is higher than the piano's rack. The solution for me was to have a 
single lens made for the middle distance and that works very well both 
for the organ playing and for the computer.
