Sostonuto blade set at 45 degrees to vertical or horizontal, depending on your personal bent by bending the staple. Blade brackets bend so the tip of blade is the same height as the tip of the sos tabs. Check each section end. Check that blade does not hit tabs when pedal is worked several times with key blocks in place. If it does tap blade brackets toward key fronts until all clear Step on sustain pedal then sos pedal. All dampers should be held up. Tap damper blocks to see if any fall through. Adjust brackets out until all are caught. If one or two are not working well you can bend the damper wires slightly to correct. Slightly so damping or timing are not effected. If the sos pedal raises dampers too high adjust flet block on lever to reduce blade travel. Dampers need to be well timed before adjusting sos pedal function. If all else fails bang head on key bed to relieve frustration. Newton nhunt@jagat.com
