Marshall,

You should go back and put it back in.  If it wasn't causing a problem, it
was working as it was supposed to, and someone will wonder what happened to
it at some point in the future.

 

I can't remember Sojin's arrangement, but there should be a snap mechanism
that holds it up, and the rail is pushed down manually in the mute position.

 

I like these hand operated mufflers better than the pedal, because then
people don't crank the rail up and down during the music like a super una
corda.  They're not intended to be used that way.

Hi Everyone,
I tuned a Sojon yesterday, I believe that's the correct spelling, but I
tuned this piano and it hd a practice rail connected, but here's the odd
thing.  It was not connected to a rod which would normally connect to a
middle pedal assembly because this piano only had a soft pedal and a sustain
pedal.  I left the rail out because I was concerned that it might get in the
way later on. This occured at a church where I tune on a regular basis.
Have any of you come across this, a practice pedal without the practice
pedal hardware to connect it? Thanks
Marshall
