Damper lift rod grinding

[tom]

Michelle,

            To quote Yogi Berra   "You can observe a lot by looking" 

            Pull the action and I'll bet the problem will be obvious.

            Operate the tray with the pedal and then by hand

            Then check under the  keybed.A spring  may be broken, out of
position or something .

            The louder the noise the easier the diagnosis.

            Trust yourself and jump in. 

            Best wishes,

            Tom Driscoll

Hi all.  I have a 1951 Steinway S here at the house that has started making
a grinding noise when the damper pedal is pushed.  I've isolated it to the
metal rod that comes through the keybed and lifts the dampers.  Being a
newbie, I want to get some suggestions from y'all before I begin.  

 

Thanks for your help.
