Those Other Pedals
By D. L. Bullock

> What uses have you seen for 'that other pedal'? -- Hal Davis

The Wing and Son pianos I have seen have 5 pedals.  The ones in the
middle made the three different types of mandolin effects.

One was the standard mandolin rail; one was the brass T's that come
in front of the hammer shanks and hit the strings instead of the felt
hammers, and the third was the set of little brass rollers that dangled
against the strings and rattled as long as the string vibrated.

I would love to have one of these jewels someday.
