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.
