Dear List: I need to do some regulation work on a Steinway upright. The sostenuto does not work quite right, (it holds some dampers but not all) and another technician told my friend that it could not be fixed (I think he didn't know how to fix it, or didn't want to bother). I assume that it works like a grand sostenuto, but I haven't been able to find literature or reading on the matter, in either my Potter course manual or the Reblitz. Does anyone have the regulation sequence for a Steinway upright? Specifically on the Steinway sostenuto? I will gladly pay for postage and copying if someone has it handy. I have regulated umpteen verticals, but never one with the sostenuto mechanism. Sincerely, Craig Deets Associate member, Chicago
