A Lost Motion Compensator is a rail that was designed specifically for upright pianos. The function of the rail works when the pedal is depressed. It improves the players ability to nuance fine soft tones. Something that is far more difficult without this rail. Few are made today as it is expensive and time consuming. Here is a shot of what that rail looks. For those with a little technical knowledge you will notice that there is a special piece created just for the purpose of coming into contact with this pivot rail. They look like little sticks coming out to touch the rail. These little pieces are made specifically for this purpose. So you will usually find these lost motion rails on vintage pianos from the 1900 -1930's range.
