[pianotech] Kimball pedal bracket-Nylon/plastic

[wimblees at aol.com]

I thought about making a replacement.  Only one part gives me pause,
ecause I don't do a lot of router work.
he groove that holds the pedal pins has to be just the right size and
epth, and also aligned perfectly in the top and bottom pieces.  That is the
art that concerns me.  Guess it's time for me to move forward in my
oodworking skills.  Wish me luck.

Doing your own woodworking is a great experience. But be sure you get paid for the work you do. Although you shouldn't charge your normal tuning rate fee, you should at least get paid something for your time. The question is, will you customer pay for what the repair will cos?. Is it worth it to them to get the pedals working again?

 Does anyone know where I can get replacements for the nylon or plastic 
 pedal brackets found in many Kimball pianos?
The last one I ran across, I took back to the shop and used it as a pattern.
ade a new set out of Delignit scrap that'll outlast us all.
