[Jim Busby]

Fred,

My 1098s (12 of them) are 6 years old and have sostenuto. Ask Dave Kirkland.

Subject: [CAUT] uprights with sostenuto

Anyone know who is still making uprights with sostenuto? Does Steinway  
still do it? (not listed on their website, or I didn't find it). The  
only manufacturer I know of for sure is Sauter, but maybe it is an  
option you have to special order for others.
	The question arises as a comp prof was wanting one, so I gave him our  
Mason 50 upright, the only upright we have with sost. Once upon a time  
lots of manufacturers did it, including even Wurlitzer. Yamaha did,  
but I heard that had ended.
Regards,
