Kevin. ----- Original Message -----=20 From: Clyde Hollinger=20 To: pianotech@ptg.org=20 Sent: Wednesday, August 20, 2003 4:02 AM Subject: Yamaha sustain pedal knock Friends, Two weeks ago I tuned a 1980 Yamaha G3 grand piano. I detected a = slight knocking sound when releasing the sustain pedal. Since the sound = seemed to come from the pedal box, I took it apart to see what I could see. There appears to be a little more play between the pedal pin and the hole in the pedal dowel, which appeared to be made of teflon or some similar material. That is certainly not a part that I keep in stock, = so I put things back together and informed the church of what I found. They got back to me and want the knock eliminated (not all my clients respond this way). Now my questions: 1. How does one get that pedal dowel out? Is it glued in? It looks *very* tight, and I don't want to beat everything up. 2. Where does one get the part? Contact Yamaha, or are there better options? 3. Is there some other good fix that doesn't involve getting a new = part and might be less trouble and labor? Thanks, Clyde Hollinger, RPT Lititz, PA, USA _______________________________________________ pianotech list info: https://www.moypiano.com/resources/#archives ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
