Hi Bill, Could it be a nylon pedal mount, such as the type Schaff sells? If so, that must be replaced. If it is the piece in the end of a metal dowel, you might try some plastic repair epoxy. I've not tried it yet, but I saw some today while I was in Wal-Mart.

She called and said that "with a bang" the sustain pedal broke. She said it wasn't the metal pedal, nor the pedal bearings, nor the dowel, nor the pedal rod, but the plastic piece that goes from the pedal to the pedal rod. White plastic, snapped in two. I am unfamiliar with what she is talking about and she does not explain things well. So that I might take enough supplies and equipment to repair in one trip, -- does anyone know what she is talking about? Has anyone had to replace such a broken plastic piece? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you, Bill Simon
