[pianotech] M&H Sostenuto

[Mike Spalding]

David,

Try to find a solution that does not require raising or lowering the 
sostenuto blade.  The hangers screw into the belly rail and are 
adjustable only by bending (or plugging and redrilling) but they are of 
a cast bronze material which breaks as often as it bends.  If it's only 
one or two, I'd bet on Laura's suggestion. Bend the damper wire to bring 
those tabs out a little closer to the blade.
