[CAUT] a bad habit??

[Wolfley, Eric (wolfleel)]

OK, so I was exaggerating to make a point...I guess I could take the
time to systematically go through every practice room, classroom and
studio to check the functioning of sostenutos but since time is usually
at a premium I decided to wait until somebody complained that their
sostenuto wasn't working...hasn't happened yet. Maybe the pianos they
came from were sold years ago.

Why not just check it with the pedals? ;-) Sorry, the Devil made me do
it.
