[pianotech] creaking damper pedal

[tom]

Mr. B.
	I concur with our talented listees. I've had the pleasure? of
prepping a bunch of Asian makes and a poly squeak - groan is common on the
lower front panels. I put a thin film of V.J. lube on any surfaces that
touch each other (Including the dowels) and isolate the catch under the
keybed from the panel by gluing a small piece of leather over the top of the
panel.
You diagnosed  the problem when the noise followed the removed lower front
panel.

Hi all.

Actually, it's not the pedal, but the structure itself.

The culprit is a Yamaha P121. The 'noise' happens only when 
the kick panel is in place.

I'm hoping, among the vastness that is pianotech, an answer 
to this perplexing problem exists for this client.

Did I lay it on thick enough?!?

Thanks,
