Corrected that squeak problem today!

It turns out that the buckskin that I used in it to remove the squeak
earlier actually was worn to a "shiny" finish. This made it squeak at the
slightest movement of the pedal. To be certain there were no other areas, I
checked this from the dampers on back, checking for noise as I added another
piece of linkage.

I replaced the worn buckskin with a heavy leather on the bottom and a
thinner layer of leather on the sides of the metal push-rods. I changed all
three of them so that I will not receive a call later with the same issue
regarding the sostenuto and the una corda.

 

Thank you to all for your great suggestions and words of wisdom.
