Seek Soft Pedal Components for Steinway AR
By Jim Edwards

I am seeking the soft rail assembly and pneumatics for a Steinway AR.
I have a friend who is missing this part of his reproducing piano and
would like to add it to the piano because without it the keyboard will
not shift for full "soft" effect.  If this assembly is not available
where can he go for a scale drawing of the assembly and instructions
for proper set-up of the assembly?

Thanks for any help,

Jim Edwards

 [ I've seen Duo-Art installations in grand pianos which shift the key
 [ bed for "soft pedal", but I've heard that in other Duo-Art installa-
 [ tions the hammer rest rail moves up to reduce the power, as in the
 [ Ampico grands.  Is this true?  Which method is used on the Steinway?
