Steve:

Unless the customer knows that when the soft pedal is depressed, she should
also play a little softer, there is not going to be much of an effect. Some
people seem to think that the soft pedal is like the volume control on a
stereo, and that the volume will decrease significantly. IMHO the soft pedal
on any upright piano should be disconnected. In fact, it should never have
been made part of it in the first place. It realy doesn't do anything, except
make the action play lousy.
