This is the elegant muffler rail (celeste rail as it tends to be called in UK parlance) arrangement on a modern Bechstein. No spring. It falls into place under its own weight when the pedal rod works the little wooden cam. I like its simplicity and the lack of any fiddly spring. Best regards, David. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
