I dealt with one PSO horizontal spinet which had a squeak/creak/groan of 
the una corda. (depending on speed of use)  Traced it down to glide studs 
set in very soft wood. Studs were just a little loose and neither stud nor 
keybed had lubrication.  Noise was piano equivalent of a playing card in 
bicycle spokes...

YMMV
