Keith says,
<<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.>>

Greetings, 
   If the underlevers are allowed unlimited upward travel, a strong blow can 
send them over the top of the engaged sostenuto rod.  This doesn't happpen 
with the unsprung sos. tabs, but the later models will allow the underlever 
tab to go above, and when it does, it stays up there! 
Regards,
