Hi,

Same Ivers and Pond upright as shown beneath the "piano window" had this 
interesting pedal arrangment.  Two adjustments for the pedals.  The second one 
is the adjust the total pedal travel - where it stops. I've never seen this 
before.  I thought this was interesting and wanted to share it with the list.

Hi John:

We see a lot of old Ivers and Pond uprights here in the Northeast, it being
a Boston piano. So I have seen the arrangement that you have noted many
times, and it strikes me as a very good way to limit the pedal travel.

How about a bad piano joke?  Did you know that Ivers and Pond made a small
spinet piano also?  It was called the Ivers and Puddle.

Skulking away now,

Will Truitt

What's the difference between an Grand spinet and a Kimball?  A lot of
"small" people had a "grand" ole time building it.  Whereas those at
Kimball, did a lot of "French Licking."  I know, I know, sick joke......

John,
I hope you, and ALL other tuners, clean off that unsightly and unhealthy
crud at the initial tuning appointment.
