Rick, This might not be the answer but I have heard a creaking noise out of many of the Samick made consoles. Most of the time it is the coil spring on the trap lever the has the two little white plastic cups holding the spring in place. I either felt the inside of the cup tighten the screws holding it in place or just replace it with another as sometimes I find them cracked. Other times the bottom skid board flexing when the pedal is depressed so tilting the piano and tightening the screws is another fix.
