Subject: Re: [pianotech] Piano Disc Pedal Adaptor for the handicapped pianist
As
I understood it, the PianoDisc Adaptor consisted of their standard pedal
solenoid and power supply.
You were on your own to come up with a switching device. If this is the case, why not just buy
the solenoid and power supply independently, and make you own ?Adaptor.? Maybe they expanded to offering a
switching device since my last inquiry; I don?t know. That?s the larger problem, coming up
with a human interface to meet the needs of the disabled pianist.
Years
ago, before there was a PianoDisc, I made a device for an amputee, using a
Pianocorder solenoid and power supply.
There was a write-up about it in the New Orleans Times-Picayune, and later in a journal for disabled persons.
I modified a computer
?joystick,? and mounted it on the piano bench. In my case, the customer had the use and
control of her thigh to operate the joystick. It worked well for her, but it would
have been better if there had been some tactile feedback, to know by the feel of
it, when/if the pedal is engaged or not.
