[pianotech] Knee board & pedal squeak

Garret,

 

Would you please clarify your phrase about the bottom knee board? I am looking for a clue here for a pedal squeak that occurs only when the knee board is in place, not when it is off or partially closed. And of course by the time the squeaking starts, the board is too far closed for me to see the pedal movement inside.

 

Thank you,

Laura Read

Lance,
I sometimes use “hot glue stick” for some pedal felt repair, Bottom knee board when squeaks arise to secure felt between board and case.  I keep in an “Adhesive and Glues Box” with a small stick on hand (no gun); if needed I just briefly heat the end of the stick with a lighter.  For our band instrument repair, we use glue stick to float pads for clarinets, and to repair instrument cases.  Generally, it is not the most appropriate glue to use for repair but sometimes helpful.  Use common sense.

Kindest Regards,

Garret
