We install the QRS units in our store, and generally we don't include the sostenuto. It has to be ordered from the company separately. I'm not the one doing the installs, but the guy who does it requests my help when a sostenuto mechanism is requested by the customer. I've helped install a few sostenutos, both push and pull types. I had to collect parts from two kits and mix and match the parts, but the end result worked fine. As always, the trapwork is the hardest part of the install. Don't ask me if I'd install one of these systems in any piano I owned. I second the motion to go with Yamaha's disklavier. Why reinvent the wheel?
