Hi list, Iīm having some trouble with a Zimmermann (two nīs?) pedal rod. Itīs the rod for the right pedal and itīs making a hell of a noise. I know whatīs wrong, itīs pretty obvious. The rod is held in place by a spring thingee thatīs giving it a lot of side pressure and over time all of this has started to go awry. The rodīs under so much pressure that itīs emanating a lot of squeaky noise when the pedal is pressed. If I put my hand on the rod while pressing the pedal I can feel a lot of vibration. I was thinking that maybe the best thing to do is to make a piece with a hole in it that the rod goes through, and doesnīt apply such side pressure to the rod. Help, I told her Iīd ask the world.
