<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Subject:</B> [SPAM] how to remove upright
pedals</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>I have a customer with an 1870's Steinway upright who would
like the pedals replaced (the thin tin coating is worn right through). I can't
figure out how to remove the pedals though. The pin at the back end of the
pedals is too wide to be pulled through the opening in the case, no matter how
much angling I do. I could snip the pin off the old pedals, but some
replacement pedals I am looking at have pins just as wide, so I wouldn't be
able to push the new ones through. Is there some way to remove the bottom of
the case? Thanks for any advice.
