false beats, real jazz and satisfaction

[Farrell]

The soft pedal of most uprights is the one that pushes the hammer rail forward. I suspect the "moderator rail" is the mute rail - usually the middle pedal on verticals equipped with that feature (if one can call it that - I have several four-letter-word descriptions for those #%&$s).

  Probably the "soft pedal" which on Yamahas is that felt strip that goes between the strings and hammers once depressed.

moderator was too low so that the hammers touched it, but I couldn´t 
position it correctly because the spring of the moderator rail was worn out.
