<HTML><FONT FACE=arial,helvetica><FONT SIZE=2>.... who insists the pedals aren't working right?
<BR>
<BR>Situation. Lady approaches me at church and tells me her last tuner did
<BR>something wrong to her pedals. I got there today. It's a Acrosonic, and the
<BR>last tuner put on new bass dampers. When she played, she kept her foot on the
<BR>sustain pedal, and then complained that the bass notes kept ringing. For a 90
<BR>year old, she is pretty alert, and played half way decent. When I played, I
<BR>used the pedal like you're supposed to, lifting my foot when the chord would
<BR>change. She looked at me and said, "I have been playing for a long time, and
<BR>I never lift my foot like you do. I just kept it down all the time. That is
<BR>the way I have always played. But now the piano just keeps on sounding. Why
<BR>is that? What is wrong with the piano?" I tried to convince her there is
<BR>nothing wrong with the piano. But how do you tell a 90 year old lady she
<BR>doesn't know how to pedal correctly?
