I recently achieved acceptable results by using Teflon powder on the felt bushing that the metal rod passes through. I figured that since it works so well on hammer knuckles, (wood against leather), and key bushings, (metal against felt), why not on pedal rod bushings too? I didn't want to use anything that was not dry in that area because it would be an invitation for a buildup of contamination with dust etc. Anyone else ever use this? Any idea how long it might last? -- Geoff Sykes -- Los Angeles _____ From: pianotech-bounces at ptg.org [mailto:pianotech-bounces at ptg.org] On Behalf Of richard.ucci at att.net Sent: Saturday, September 08, 2007 8:24 AM To: pianotech at ptg.org Subject: damper rod noise OK List, I've searched the archives, but can't find the thread. Two Asian pianos, K&C (Samick) and a PR . Both uprights, with same problem. Sustain rod is making that scratchy noise . What is the lube of choice, does the bracket have to be removed to apply? Should I rebush with new buckskin? Very troublesome .... Thanks, Rick Ucci/Ucci Piano -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
