[CAUT] practice rail

[Joe Goss]

Hi Fred,
Ask Why They want the mute.
Personally my feeling is that it robs the upright ( PRESUMING ON MY PART ) 
of dynamic level on the fff  and causes the action to be less responsive due 
to larger let off needed so that the hammers do not block.
BTW is the regulation set so that the player can play soft as a whisper and 
loud as a trumpeting elephant?
Is this a Samick? No reflection negatively on the product, just thinking of 
a key problem easily solved.
