Thanks, Joe.  That could well be it.  I was troubleshooting a bass =
damper problem, and probably messed with the trapwork adjustment for the =
sostenuto pedal before I realized it wasn't a bass damper sustain =
pedal...

  Cy asked: "I ran across a U-3 where the sostenuto was way out of =
adjustment.  Only =3D
  a few of the tabs engaged when I held the sustain pedal down and then =
=3D
  the sostenuto pedal.

  I had a hard time getting a good view of the alignment of the tabs vs. =
=3D
  the sostenuto bar.  Is there an easier way than trial and error to =
align =3D
  them?

  --Cy,
  Sounds to me like the trapwork isn't actuating far enough. You might =
try adjusting the pedal up first. i.e. the sostenuto is not pivoting far =
enough to catch ALL of the tabs. The ones it's catching now are the ones =
out of adjustment, probably.<G>
