<html> <body> Don, <x-tab>        </x-tab>I've only had success when I've adopted advice from one of the kind ladies of this list who shared , some time ago I might add, that we should get rid of the little rubber grommets and such and felt line the arm like it's been done in the past. It Might have been Susan as I seem to remember her mixture of super glue and white glue to adhere the two ends of the felt together after being passed through the pedal arm hole. Do this twice (one for each side of the hole) and you're set. No more squeaks. Some things just don't need to be reinvented. best, Greg At 03:04 AM 3/22/2006, you wrote: <blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">Hi all, Has anyone had long term success with treating a squeal from the piano dampher lift rod (upright)?
