Hello List and Ric B I have an appointment this coming Friday to deal with what is most certainly going to be a carbon copy of the Steinberg you are mentioning here. I shall look out for those points you mention. The "soft pedal" can be one of three ways can't it. There's even a "half blow" in some baby grands - and pedal shift to the Left is not uncommon - Ibach use this system. I have even come across a shifting mechanism in an old upright! In these the Hammer Rail slides through the wooden action stays. Regards from a beautiful sunny day (started frosty) in the heart of the Sussex Downs. Michael G (UK) ps. Spring is on the way! - and I don't mean damper spring... :-)
