Laura The rubber bushing in which the pin sits could also be worn out, missing, or too hard.

You are y "experts" so here goes: It's a Kawai GS-50 with a rattle in the damper tray when you release he sustain pedal. When I lift and drop certain damper blocks I can ind of duplicate the rattle in the aluminum rail. I tightened the screws that hold the damper tray to the belly rail. I hecked damper under lever screws. I tightened the screws in the damper locks the hold the damper wires. The tabs aren't hitting the sos. rod nd the Sostenuto rod bracket screws are tight. The damper under lever crews are tight. What am I missing? Thanks in advance for your thoughts. Laura Olsen -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
