Soft pedal adjust

[Stephen R Haasch]

I just tuned a spinet  Baldwin style 3011c .  The customer is concerned
about the fact that the soft pedal really does not make much affect .
Upon checking this like new piano, It appears that the pedal causes the
action to rotate properly from felt stop to felt stop. Yet there is very
little noticeable change in feel or softness of the piano. Is this
typocal of that spinet or is there an adjustment which would be
acceptable and effective (especially)  which would give the customer
more control over her piano.  The only change I could possibly forsee
would be to slice and eighth of an inch off the forward stop.  But when
is too close too close. (Measurements?)   Does any one have experience
in this or is it better left well enough alone?

I'd appreciate your thoughts.
