Broken Pedal

[nanabush]

My pedal broke 

I was pressing the damper pedal, and at random, I heard this 'ting' sound, and then it just stopped working... it still presses down with the same force, but it's as if it detached from the inner mechanism... I'm using a young chang  , so if anyone knows if I can fix it on my own then plz tell me how... or would it be easier to get a guy come in and fix it?

Upright:
Open up the top and bottom pannels.   In the bottom, follow from the pedal, up to a lever, across to one end of the piano.  There should be a vertical stick attached to the end of the lever going up into the action where there is a reciprocating socket.  It may have just poped off.

if i'd have known how simple it was (before i saw my tuner do this) i'd have done it myself, too.  you know things are bad if the whole pedal disengages and falls completely to the ground.
