Steinway Sostenuto

[Jon Page]

Ron,
The bottom edge of the sos. in the rest position should
be 1/8" higher than tabs. Measure tab height from keybed,
dd 1/8" for bar height, either shim brackets or bend with pliers.
When engaged, The tabs should be 1/16" onto sos. bar,
to adjust tab depth, move brackets with screw/slide adjustment.
I also like to give the sos. pedal the same travel as the damper pedal.
