Yeah, I discovered that. I love my hardware store. The YC rep appreciated my griping--really. One time I gave him a whole list of problems I saw. He said he was happy to have someone give him feedback. Dean, it indeed was the hanger bushing in this case. I removed the action from the piano to isolate the problem, so no pedal pivots were involved. br ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tom Driscoll" <tomtuner at verizon.net> To: pianotech at ptg.org Sent: Tuesday, November 16, 2010 8:38:30 AM Subject: Re: [pianotech] Noisey pedal bracket Barbara, That's when a trip to the hardware store for pan head self tapping sheet metal screws will solve the problem. As for the contaminated cloth in the brackets I had an issue with Walter verticals (1990's) with the same problem. The cloth was hard as a piece of plastic when removed. The symptom was a click when the key was released whilst the damper pedal was halfway engaged. The rod was rotated away from rest and the levers would impact the rod when the key was released causing the hanger to click inside the petrified bushings. That one took me a while to figure out.
