<DIV align=left>Good idea! I was working on a Mason & Hamlin A...newer...with wiggly pedals. </DIV>
<DIV align=left>It had the Steinway style plate on the front of lyre. I removed the screws by </DIV>
<DIV align=left>the pedals don't come out ala Steinway (WHICH I LOVE!!!!). I had to pull the lyre, </DIV>
<DIV align=left>remove the bottom pedal board and then found individual bushed blocks on each side of the pedal.</DIV>
<DIV align=left>I wasn't prepared to rebush (no thick bushing cloth)so I ran some thin bushing cloth through the original bushed hole with no glue and it tightened them up temporarily. I still can't figure out what the removable plate was for? The Steinway style pedal system is so logical and easy to service, I don't know why it isn't copied? </DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> A colleague, Paul Kupelian RPT, has a customer with a broken plastic pedal bracket from a Kimball LaPetit baby grand. Schaff lists a similar one on catalog page 131, #2586, but it is way too big. Any old Kimballshop people out there who may have one around? Please reply to him privately at <A href="mailto:pkupeli1@twcny.rr.com">pkupeli1@twcny.rr.com</A>. </FONT></DIV>
