I don't remember the order thereof."

Conrad,
Actually, there was: 1. A "rinky tink" rail 2. A mandolin rail (this was a rail with 1/4" b-bs that hung from a cord. These b-bs were activated by the energy of the string vibrating and gave a mandolin sound) 3. A full sustain pedal 4. A bass sustain pedal. 5. A "soft" pedal, (i.e. hammer rail shift)
Definately an interesting piano. They also made one with more pedals than that!! Don't recall what the additional pedals did.
Regards,
Joe
