At the = time, the bolts had already been installed by someone else to hold the = damper pedal down, and I tightened the screws for the (right side) = damper trap lever assembly to keep it from blasting off. Miracle cure! = Ah, but there was still noise, I treated the damper spring felts with = Protek--which seemed to take care of the squeaks. I was hoping that = would be the other miracle cure. I went back to take a picture of the pedal assembly, which is a little = different. The damper pedal pulls down two levers--one to the right, = tenor & treble, and one to the left, the bass. Could it be this set-up = that makes the pedal feel somewhat stiff? It would make sense, since = two trap lever springs are being pushed down. I didn't notice a stiff = damper spring feel in the action itself (after I lubed the spring felt). = =20 When I went back to take the picture last week, I noticed that the = squeaking is back. I'll admit it, I was in a hurry and didn't take a = close look at the felts. I suppose cleaning the damper springs and = replacing the spring felt is next. Is there a different (faster) = solution--like some miracle lubricant I haven't heard of that came on = the market while I was on leave? Thanks.
