Brinsmead Sostenuto
Post by Bill Kibby »
Further to my email, an 1878 article in the Illustrated London News says of a Brinsmead "Another important feature in the instrument is the addition of a third pedal, which gives the performer the power of sustaining, almost indefinitely, some notes, while others may be played staccato. This is a particularly valuable quality".
