Hi there. I've recently come across a "Rippen" upright approx. 20 years old with 2 broken pedal brackets. They are made out of plastic, which simply cracked and make the short part has a hole to accommodate for the pedal pin). I can't find the "Rippen" people in order to get those brackets. Does anyone out there know where I could find the manufacturer? I do know the piano was manufactured in Holland. Thanx in advance for any info. you can contribute. sustain pedal useless. The brackets are similar to the ones Baldwin made during those years ( an L shape with the long part screwed to the bottom board & the short part has a hole to accommodate for the pedal pin). I can't find the "Rippen" people in order to get those brackets. Does anyone out there know where I could find the manufacturer? I do know the piano was manufactured in Holland. I am also aware of the possibility of using a "generic" metal bracket mounted on a "custom" built wooden base to reach the desirable hight, but it would be much easier and quicker to just get the original part. Thanx in advance for any info. you can contribute. Dan Amihud RPT
