Patrick, List,

I certainly don't claim to be a super tech, but I fail to see how having
the damper stop rail too high would in any fashion mess up the dampers,
and/or the operation of the sostenuto system.

All I can envision happening with the damper rail being as you have
described is the dampers clunking back down on the keys with aggressive
playing.

Care to offer more information as to how this could be, please?
