Hi List, It would appear to me, that a solenoid, could operate the pedal mechanism. There are numerous switches available, you could even have a microswitch operating a relay, to operate the solenoid, where a miniscule amount of energy would operate it. Yamaha Disklaviers, operate the pedals. Regards, John M. Ross Windsor, Nova Scotia, Canada jrpiano@win.eastlink.ca
