  You probably won't like the effects of graphite on light pants, so you might want to carefully clean it off the key bed. (other
than a bit at the glides)

  The other keyframe contact areas are the dags at the back, the spring, the end-pins and the shift lever.

  Try pump the pedal very slowly and see if the squeak gets louder... it's often the spring. Does it sound like a shiny metal
against shiny varnish  type of squeak? Try cleaning it and coating with dry teflon spray, then lightly sand the wooden side of the
keyframe with fine paper and work some teflon powder in.

  For end-pins I really like that clear synthetic grease Pianotek sells.

  The other two areas are least likely to sqeak, in my experience anyhow.

  good luck,

    Hello, I hav a estonia grand probably a 6 foot it has a squeak when you depress the soft pedal I graphited the key bed and it
totally stopped. But a day later it is back worse than ever. I also adjusted the glides that were not adjusted properly I sure
need help with this one.
