Marshall Samick made some cheap pianos that had a mute rail that you have to push down maually on the bass end. I wonder if this Sojin was made by them. There is a bracket that catches on a post. Kind of hard to explain, but next time you're at this piano look for it.

Hi Everyone, Firs, I think my e-mail goofed and sent a blank message. Sorry about that. I guess that adds a little twist to reading between the lines, and I didn'teven include lines. Someone mentioned a piano without a pin block, Wegman, or Waegman? I think we discussed this at school. I ran into an interesting piano today. I tuned a Sojin UGH It had a muffler rail or practice rail as some call it, but I couldn't find a pedal that activated it. I was in a time crunch and had another piano to tune, and I wanted to make certain I left with payment getting all three done. It was so odd, it only had two pedals a sustain and soft pedal, but I couldn't find anything that would engage that rail. I even tried moving the soft pedal and sustain to one side when depressed to see if there was any kind of locking mechinism. It's not a big deal as they don't use the piano much, but my curiosity has the best of me.
