Title: Lifts for pedals of musical instruments

Abstract: A foot pedal of a console type musical instrument is provided with a lift attachable to the pedal to raise its effective height for the benefit of small people such as children. The lift is a member to be placed on top of the foot block of the pedal and is attached to the pedal by a U-shaped bracket which passes beneath the pedal and has sides which extend upwardly to a position of attachment to the lift. Provision is made for tensioning the sides of the bracket which may be done by a camming surface on the lift or by bowing the bracket sides. Provision is also made for preventing twisting of the lift on the pedal.
