Subject: In need of Mason & Hamlin shift lever

Hello everyone,
When I arrived to tune the Mason & Hamlin BB at the local church for the
gala Christmas event there was a note asking me to adjust the "soft pedal"
since it "slipped out" when they took the piano off the stage.  Would that
it were only that simple.  The shift lever is broken in two.  They hadn't
removed the lyre when they moved it off the stage.  (I don't even want to
try to imagine the scenario....)  Supply houses no longer carry these;
PianoDisc (Mason & Hamlin) doesn't have them.  My only chance is for one of
you out there to part with one that you might have been saving for just such
an emergency.  The piano is 1975 vintage; serial number: 79822.  If you
think you might have something I can use, please contact me.  We'll compare
notes.  Thanks much,
jeannie
