Hi Julia, Using the soft pedal on uprights made with out lost motion compensators is quite futile. Put it back to where the hammer rail is resting on the brackets and hope for the best. There will be little tonal difference. Remember this pedal does something entirely different in a grand piano. Uprights with 3 pedals sell better than those with 2 pedals.
