Designing a pedal assist for a grand? to pedal damper with left foot
-
It is becoming increasingly likely that I will have to have surgery on my right foot. If so, that means I won’t be able to pedal with my right foot for possibly two months or maybe more. I don’t want to be forced to play without the pedal during that time, and the last time I tried, it seemed like playing the damper pedal with my left foot would not work. (Although maybe it will and maybe I’ll try it again this evening)
I googled around and didn’t see any “pedal extenders” designed to allow you to pedal with your left foot, the only ones I saw were for children, to allow those with short legs to reach the pedals.
So it seems like this ought to be something one could design (my husband is quite crafty). But also you wouldn’t want to design something that would damage the pedals, or the finished etc.
How would you go about trying to design something like this? (For the record, we don’t have a 3D printer).

Btw here’s one of the single pedal extenders, designed to raise the pedal but it’s still on the right side. I would want something that comes over to the left… I was wondering if modifying an existing one would be possible, but it doesn’t seem like it.

Or I’ll just pedal with my left foot, no modifications…
