Hi Everyone, A customer of mine, a school, has an Ivers & Pond I believe with this squeaky pedal, the sustain. I tryed and sometimes it squeaked and others it didn't. Also the pedal rods themselves rattle and are noisey. I have VJ lube for the squeak, but my questions are, the pedal rods seem corroded. What do you guys/gals use to clean the peal rods get all the gunky feeling off them? Also, what do you do to take away that rattling of the rods when the pedals are being used? This pinao needs soo much work, but they are not going to do it. Thanks everyone Marshall Marshall On the ends of the pedals rod is a pin. That pin fits into a hole that operates the damper system. The pin in the rod is supposed to have a rubber sleeve on it. Or if there is a rubber sleeve, it might be worn away right where it touches the hole in the damper lever. I carry around a foot long section of 1/8" inside diameter rubber hose, which you can get at a auto parts store, that fits onto the pin. In a pinch, you can also wrap the pin with masking tape, but that is only a short term solution. Willem (Wim) Blees, RPT Piano Tuner/Technician 94-505 Kealakaa Str.
