Grin... you dont happen to be from Texas now are you Robin ?  Sorry.. 
couldnt resist.  Seriously tho... Robin makes an important point.  Make 
sure you define.. as in find out exactly what the pianist is asking for. 
Check all the basics and go from there.  If all the parts are secure, 
and regulation is correct... then she's looking for something special 
and your job is to identify what it is and how to find it.

No doubt many good tips as to what exactly to look for will come in.

Cheers

    What is YOUR feeling about how the pedal feels?? "Mushy" is such a
    lovely descriptive terms. But, "mushy" just HOW?? Compared to what??

        Hi everyone.  I sure hope you can help with this issue.  I
        e-mailed a couple of days ago but haven't heard any
        suggestions.  The customer complaint (college piano professor,
        home piano) is a "mushy" sustain pedal on a Baldwin grand.  I've
        since found out that she's had TWO nationally known techs look
        at it with no positive results.  And she thinks the newbie is
        going to fix it?  =)   She's really pleased with my tunings
        however so I want to try and help her.   Any suggestions? 
        Thanks very much in advance.

        Michelle,
