Wouldn't be hooked to the soft pedal would it? Or the middle pedal?  =
Maybe in a past life.

  I'm going to feel silly if this is a standard action feature, but it =
wouldn't be the first time... so I'll ask anyway.

  I worked on the action of a 1923 Ellington grand last week.  The =
hammer rest rail was supported by brass rods at the action brackets, =
with felt bushings that allowed the rail to pivot upwards through =
roughly 90 degrees.  What's that for (besides making it easier to access =
the wippens)?
