[pianotech] creaking damper pedal

[Don Mannino]

First, tighten all screws.  It could be that you will eliminate movement 
that will stop the noise.

- Tilt the piano back and tighten the screws holding the bottom board on - 
check at the toe rail especially.
- Tighten the toe rail into the sides - don't know how Yamaha does this, but 
there should be some screws inside.

Once everything's tight, then some felt strips should stop the noise.
