damper rod noise

[Geoff Sykes]

I recently achieved acceptable results by using Teflon powder on the felt
bushing that the metal rod passes through. I figured that since it works so
well on hammer knuckles, (wood against leather), and key bushings, (metal
against felt), why not on pedal rod bushings too? I didn't want to use
anything that was not dry in that area because it would be an invitation for
a buildup of contamination with dust etc. Anyone else ever use this? Any
idea how long it might last?

OK List,

I've searched the archives, but can't find the thread. Two Asian pianos, K&C
(Samick) and a PR . Both uprights, with same problem. Sustain rod is making
that scratchy noise . What is the lube of choice, does the bracket have to
be removed to apply? Should I rebush with new buckskin? Very troublesome
....

Thanks,
