Welte-Mignon Sustain Pedal Compensation
By Jim Miller

[ Ref. Welte-Mignon Sustain Pedal Compensation, Part 1
 [ https://www.mmdigest.com/Archives/Digests/202001/2020.01.14.01.html 

MMD readers,  It has too long since I last wrote on the subject of
"Welte-Mignon Sustain Pedal Compensation" and a Compensator for the
effecting of it, so I am posting now this little Part 1 (b) ditty,
as prelude to the substantive item's pending appearance.

Over the while since, I've received some probing inquiries from MMD
readers (Mignonites!) posing questions regarding the subject of
tardiness, specifically such as in-part, "So, _where_ is it?" and
another, "... our patience is wearing _thin!_"  And thus far the best
and my favorite, "You _started_ it -- now _finish_ it!"

The rest, contrarily, were more gently inquiring, in requesting of
hoped-for completion rather sooner than later.

I understand.  Any further delaying on my part surely would risk
sparking full-on Mignonite Insurrection, which at all costs must be
avoided.  To the worthy end I pledge thus, just as told Sama Morita
regarding the final completion of the rebuilding of his Duo-Art Gift
Vorsetzer from the Brothers Tushinsky at Tokyo, long, long ago:

"It will be finished ... when finished!"

And so it was, and soon enough.

 [ doesn't match the screen display.  Ah, yes, 'tis a familiar issue!
