Jim. list;
I tuned (2 p/r's, 1 tuning - yes, same day) an old upright for a Batist
minister's
elder daughter. While tightening plate bolts I noticed the damper pedal rod
disengaged. I figured she doesn't play much or she may have mentioned the
pedal not working. Anyways, when I was done she began thumping out the hymns.
She exclaimed:  "You fixed the tempo pedal ! "

I have found many stop rails pushed upwards from excessive trapwork travel.
