Craig,
	Sorry I can't be of much help. I didn't even real;ize that the 
sostenuto was available on some models until a couple of months ago. I'm 
still waiting to encounter one. I'll let you know when I do, then you 
can tell me how to regulate it.

You might try calling Steinway tech services. Thats where I'd start.

Good luck!
