I'm not sure if I sent this correctly before. So excuse this post if it is a repeat. I'm Looking for some information about the linkage for the soft pedal on a 1924 Whitney (kimball) Grand piano. This piano used to be a reproducing player, so the hammer rest rail is pushed up from the trapwork to accomplish this. There are two rods, threaded for adjusting . One for each side of the rest rail. There is no obvious connection from the rods to the rest rail. The piano "came with" some old pieces of leather that appear to have been used for this purpose , but are no longer attached to anything. Other than this ,it is a pretty decent little instrument. Thanks for any help in solving this mystery. Sincerely, Mike Van Deventer Associate Member Madison PTG Assistant Piano Technician UW-Madison
