<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Garamond size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt; FONT-FAMILY: Garamond">We have one newer D here that has the teflon bushings on the pedal pivots, and several older Steinways that have the cloth bushings. The D’s sustain pedal is now squeaking at the pivot. I can’t really make any judgment about relative longevity of the two types of bushings, since the one D is in the recital hall and the others are in practice rooms – big difference in usage hours. What is your experience? Who likes cloth vs. teflon, or vice versa? Are the pivot rods all the same diameter, where retrofitting would even work?<BR><BR>I have to fix the D with a new cloth bushing for tonight’s performance, since that’s all I have, but I want to find out what’s best long-term.<BR><BR>Thanks,<BR>Ken Z.<BR>-- <BR>Ken Zahringer, RPT<BR><st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceType w:st="on">University</st1:PlaceType> of <st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Missouri</st1:PlaceName></st1:place><BR><st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceType w:st="on">School</st1:PlaceType> of <st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Music</st1:PlaceName></st1:place></SPAN></FONT><o:p></o:p></P></DIV></DIV></BODY></HTML>
