[pianotech] Pedal Stops

[Will Truitt]

Hi John:

We see a lot of old Ivers and Pond uprights here in the Northeast, it being
a Boston piano. So I have seen the arrangement that you have noted many
times, and it strikes me as a very good way to limit the pedal travel.

How about a bad piano joke?  Did you know that Ivers and Pond made a small
spinet piano also?  It was called the Ivers and Puddle.

Skulking away now,

Will Truitt

Hi,

Same Ivers and Pond upright as shown beneath the "piano window" had this
interesting pedal arrangment.  Two adjustments for the pedals.  The second
one is the adjust the total pedal travel - where it stops. I've never seen
this before.  I thought this was interesting and wanted to share it with the
list.
