Try to find a solution that does not require raising or lowering
the sostenuto blade. The hangers screw into the belly rail and
are adjustable only by bending (or plugging and redrilling) but
they are of a cast bronze material which breaks as often as it
bends. If it's only one or two, I'd bet on Laura's suggestion.
Bend the damper wire to bring those tabs out a little closer to
the blade.<br>

<font face="Arial">A client some distance from me has asked me to
tune his restored Mason & Hamil 5'8" grand. and to check out
a few problems. He says that the sostenuto pedal isn't working
for a few notes. We don't see many M&H in the UK - I've
never encountered one. Is there anything in particular I should
look out for regarding the sostenuto?<br>
