Good evening everyone,
I have a problem with a pedalboard, and I am wondering if anyone can help me find a replacement piece or give me advice on how I may "sculpt" a replacement part.
I have a very old Rodgers pedalboard, and on the end farthest from the console, the board where all the keys attach has cracked in half, vertically, spanning the entire board. This is a big problem because many of the notes are now stuck in the down position. All of the keys attach to this board using a flat metal bars which pivot about a curved metal beam. At first, I tried tightening the connections, but the result was that it would fix the "broken" note but cause another note (or five) to fail. This part will have to be replaced, but this is a huge board, and I certainly don't have the knowledge or equipment to sculpt it properly (the piece is probably 4-6" thick in both directions, and due to the AGO-style, it has curvature both vertically and laterally).
Thanks in advance for your input!
