This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Believe me, I was really surprised that it was the recommended fix, by Steinway. Kent says that he goes over all the friction points with cork grease, when he does his regular routines. I was thinking if the glide bolt was the problem, why they wouldn't they buff and polish them, before installation. I have never, since 1975 seen this as a source of a squeak. Mind you the percentage of grands I work on is miniscule, compared with almost everyone else, especially the guys, who just work on grands. Anyway, I am hoping for the best. John M.

I had contacted Kent Webb, and he suggested cork grease on the glide bolt contact area. Went there today, did that and operated the pedal 50 times, no squeak. I queried him as to why the squeak had returned after, I thought I had fixed it. He said it probably settled down again. My next question was, will it start again in the middle of a concert, he said no as the cork grease was long lasting, but I should reapply it yearly to all friction points. Not quite the answer, I expected, but that is the official Steinway answer. Thanks, once again to all who replied. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
