is this a test?  where is the emergency broadcast system when you need it?

once i saw a piano (in a california mission) that had 12 pedals.  i had a hard time determining which were functional - let alone which one was the middle pedal.  one keyboard. 

here are some interesting pianos:

If it had 12 pedals then none of them would be the middle pedal you silly woman. 

Twelve's an even number.

true.  being that some were completely broken and three of the keys permanently stuck - it was a rather impossible piano to play.  i think it said kranich and sons.  or kranich and bach?

have you ever heard of a jekyl and hyde pedal?
