Hello All: I am servicing a 1967 Chickering baby grand with a sostenuto
system that is grossly out of adjustment. I have done some preliminary
fiddling with it, enough to know that I am not familiar with adjusting this
type. It has bendable tabs on the damper levers, and adjustment lock nuts on
the blade brackets that are in a really awkward place to get a tool on.
Anybody got a good procedure for these systems? Thanks.
