The 'creek' that won't go away

Creak

If I may preface my comment with a spelling correction, I think that the 
"creek" is really a "creak". In this context, I would like to offer an 
observation on a lester Baby Grand with a "creak" in the soft pedal.

i serviced the piano quite thoroughly and on retuning I discovered a "creak" 
when the soft pedal was pressed. After lubricating the bed, the lyre rods, 
the lever mechanism, i still had the "creak". Eventually I found that the 
"creak" was the back of the key frame rubbing against the sostenuto rod made 
of wood. A little sandpaper on the rod eliminated the "creak". 

Don't know if this pertains to your "creak" but it was a new one on me.
