Help Identifying Parts [PLEASE?]
on: March 26, 2020, 08:29:14 PM
When it comes to instruments or music in general, I am a complete numskull. Some years back my daughter inherited an antique (circa 1920-something) Lion & Healey 56 scale baby grand, and it's become everything to her. Please forgive my ignorance, I will do my best to describe the parts I'm asking about without knowing relevant jargon.

The pedal unit has 3 pedals which push rods up to armatures on the bottom of the main instrument body, and at the top of those rods is a threaded end with adjustable wooden "pads". Recently 2 of these have broken, and I'm hoping y'all can help me name these parts before I call for repairs.

I have attached a couple of pictures of one of the broken items for review. If you can tell me what they would be called I would be very grateful. Thanks in advance.

An image with the parts of the pedal is attached. i believe it is either the part above #10 or possibly a part near #4. However, i'm not sure if much help can be offered, you might need to ask a piano technician.

That diagram is for the damper  mechanism.  I think the part in question comes from lower in the piano, where the pedal trapwork is. 

Adjustment screw at the top of the rod?  Not sure of the actual term. 
Made a Liszt. Need new Handel's for Soler panel & Alkan foil. Will Faure Stein on the way to pick up Mendels' sohn. Josquin get Wolfgangs Schu with Clara. Gone Chopin, I'll be Bach
