Pianocorder

[carl meyer]

Martin, I have installed  approx 130 pianocorders.  The sustain pedal in
a grand is the most difficult part of the job.  Done creatively it
should work fine from the tape or from the foot.  It may be something is
misadjusted or fallen out of place or it may be a poor design.  My
aproach was to strip off all the trapwork and then redesign the pedal
mechanism with levers, pivots etc. to make a reliable system.

I'm going out of town tomorrow morning till mon evening, but you're
welcome to call me anytime other than that.  408/984-0482  I'm in Santa
Clara, Ca. and its pacific daylight time here.  After you see what the
problem is you may want to call me from the customers home.
