[pianotech] Upstop rail - - was Upstop rail missing

[Barbara Richmond]

Just last week, a church musician referred to it as the expression pedal. I figured it out. 

When I was in high school, I was in a piano studio class where another student called the damper pedal, Leo. We were all dumb-founded. She took her cue from the fancy italicized script abbreviation Ped in some music editions. Apparently, to her the italicized-script letters looked more like Leo than Ped. Have a look sometime. :-) 

So, did you say Leo is traveling too much?

We (family, growing up) used to call it the Loud pedal... in contrast, I suppose, with the Soft pedal. I wonder what Mrs. Seidelmann wouldda thought of that.

Question John. Do you call the right pedal (clients term) a damper pedal, or a sustain pedal? Or something else?
