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.
