Hi Beverly, It sounds as if the "Pitman" (the dowel between the trap lever and the damper tray) may have slipped out of position.? You'll have to pull the action to see it, preferably in the light of day...those late afternoon appointments on old pianos in ill-lit places can be tough this time of year!

The sustain suddenly stopped working.? Pedal and damper lift lever are all OK.?? The problem seems to be with the damper lift rod pin that goes up?through the keybed.? I took a quick look at it last night and am going to work on it on Friday, tomorrow.?? Anyone have experience with this and what I can expect to find and how to fix. ?
