[pianotech] FW: measuring pedals

[Jack Houweling]

In the last two days I have tested the pedals on the pianos tuned. I think
this is a good sampling to get an
 idea what is going on with pedals. All were measured in pounds.

                                            Left      Middle          Right

Mason and Hamlin BB   L 3.6  M  5.4  R 5.3
Yamaha C7                         L  6.3  M  8.7 R  7.1
Yamaha C3                         L  5.2  M  3.2  R 3.1
Steinway B                         L 15    M 10.5 R 8.4
Yamaha C2                          L 7      M 9.3   R 7.2
Grotrian 220                       L 9.2   M 14   R 8.3
Grotrian 185                       L 10.2  M 11.9 R 7.5
