I don't recall the exact configuration but basically the pedals are in the way of the drive mechanism and must be altered in order to function. The sostenuto always seems to take a hit and often ends up being disconnected totally. My general opinion is that if you want one of those things, buy a Yamaha or a piano with the system built in and designed for the piano. That being said, I am not totally on top of the technology and things may have changed to make them more piano friendly. The ones I have seen, however, usually upset the proper function of the piano and often buzz and rattle like crazy.
