It was a long time ago--1984 or so. br ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dean May" <deanmay at pianorebuilders.com> To: pianotech at ptg.org Sent: Tuesday, November 16, 2010 8:26:07 AM Subject: Re: [pianotech] Noisey pedal bracket YC used some really crap metal in those trapwork screws. The ones on the braces were particularly problematic as they get removed every time the piano is moved. When I sold YCs I always replaced those screws when intially setting up the piano with the nearest US size I could find, No 8s I think. So forget about using factory screws there. It's odd that in all the YCs I sold and service I've never encountered the problem you describe. The squeaks I found came from the brass to leather contact and from the pedal pivots. The latter responded well to Teflon powder.
