Damper pedal modifications

And that's an interesting approach, too, Ed.  She might just be able to
reach with her left foot that way.

Wouldn't that look funny:  a piano with pigeon-toed pedals!  But it might
work.

It pains me to watch her pedal, as her foot is so bent because of her hip.
 It might turn out that her right hip won't be able to take the strain of
her left foot pedaling.  Don't know.

But if nothing else, all these ideas might be useful to somebody else with
similar needs.
