Try checking the damper lift spoons. They may have not been pressed far enough into the whippen, causing the top of the spoon to scrape across the bottom of the damper lift rod. Inspect the bottom of the damper lift rod for signs of contact You may have to replace the bushing cloth in the damper lift rod hinges,there may be to much glue in the bushing cloth. I have found lubes to work great in the short term but the only real fix to replace the bushing cloth. >>> "Ron & Lorene Shiflet" <rshiflet@eaznet.com> 10/16/01 10:50AM >>> Liszt, I've ran across a consistent problem in Langer actions in that they squeak. The problem seems to be in the dampers. Typically, the action will squeak when the damper pedal is depressed. I usually pull the action, remove the damper lifter rods and lubricate the bushings with petroleum jelly. Mostly this is done on Charles Walter Pianos but I have done it on some of the Kimballs with Langer actions there at the end. I did this on a Walter about 3 months ago and it's squeaky again. Any suggestions?
