    Good morning all,
    I have a client with a  Story & Clark Studio that is missing the left and center pedals.  These pedals are atypical, in that there is an approx. 1" drop from the shank to the pedal.  See attached pic. Measurement from pivot pin to back of horn is approx 5 3/8".  Anyone have something like this taking up space in their shop they would like to get rid of?

    I have looked in Schaff and Pianotek, all of their pedals are straight shank from horn to pin.  The pedals I need are more like this
    shape (when viewed from side):

    There are many off-set sets in the Schaff catalogue. They may not be exactly as yours but you can make due. Replace all three so they'll match. You may have to notch the channel deeper. This is where being a technician overcomes being a parts installer.  The owner might not proceed when they hear the cost anyway.   Who uses those other pedals anyway.
