I can't see where adjusting the dampers on the NY Steinway system is<BR>
any easier. If the sostenuto bar is in the way on other pianos, you<BR>
simply take 60 seconds to remove it, adjust the dampers, and return<BR>
it. You can tell if the sostenuto is working correctly without<BR>
replacing the action 147 times! <BR>
