Dear colleagues, I repost my last message in plain text for those who are not able to receive HTML messages. In the last few years I have installed several Piano Disc Pedal Adaptors for disabled pianists. See http://www.pianoman.nl/piano/pedaladapter/pedaalaanpassing.htm Last week I got 2 requests. One request coming from a potential customer, here in the Netherlands, who can not use his legs. I inquired at Piano Disc - Europe if they still can provide me with such a system. The answer was: ------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Mr. Van Loon, I'm sorry to inform you that the product you are looking for has been discontinued. I hope I can be of more help next time and please feel free to contact me if you need any additional information. Sincerely -- Andreas Duetz Managing Director Europe -------------------------------------------------------------/ Well, I thought, or maybe I really said "Sh...." But that same week I got a request from a disabled pianist in Wisconsin, who had read about my doings with Pedal Adaptors. He asked me if the Pedal Adaptor was also available in the USA. Sure, I replied, it's a US product, you can find the Piano Disc contact information at their website. This Wisconsin person sent me a message in return: ------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Mr. van Loon: Thank you for the response. I've spoken to representatives from PianoDisc by phone and was told that their Pedal Adaptor has been discontinued and that a new replacement product launch is months away at best. This raises my original question, which is whether your system -- or another one I haven't heard of yet -- is available through piano technicians here in the U.S? If you know a technician in Wisconsin or elsewhere in the U.S. that I could contact about this, please let me know. Thanks again. Sincerely, K. ------------------------------------------------------------/ My question to you, dear friends, is, does anyone know more about the progress PianoDisk is making with the new version of the PedalAdaptor? And can anyone answer Mr K's question? And/Or has anyone a Pedal Adaptor in stock? -- Vriendelijk groeten, Michiel van Loon
