P2 mute pedal bracket mount

[David ilvedson]

You should be able to lift one end up a bit a slide a 2 X 4 
under it.  This should give you clearance for a socket.  Don't 
know what size though.  You also could tip the piano back 
towards a wall, leaning it against the wall...CAREFUL.  That 
might give you space.
