Wim, >On a 2 year old Steinway upright, model K, the 5/8" in diameter wood sustain rod passes through a felt bushed hole. The rubbing of the dowel on the felt makes a lot of noise. Any suggesting on how to elimimate the rubbing sound, or how to remove the some of the felt in the hole? Try taking out the dowel and sanding the area which rubs in the hole. Use the finest grit you have. Then, _OUT OF THE PIANO_, spray that section with silicone.
