<div>Squeaks that come and go can be due to pushing the pedal down with some slight sideways pressure.  Push the pedal straight down: no squeak.  Push it slightly to the right or left: there's the squeak.  Maybe that will help you in at least making the squeak to happen in your presence.  (Can't fix something you can't witness!)</div> <div> </div> <div>When I am told there's a squeak or click, and lo and behold, once I'm there it's gone, I stand up proudly and announce, "There!  I fixed it!  Just by showing up!"  That way, the client thinks, "He may be incompetent, but he's got a sense of humor."</div> <div> </div> <div>Tom Sivak</div> <div>Chicago<BR><BR><B><I>Mark's Piano Service <mps@usol.com></I></B> wrote:</div> <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid"> <META content="MSHTML 6.00.2800.1543" name=GENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> <DIV>Help please!</DIV> <DIV>You may remember a few weeks ago when I asked for any help replacing the rubber grommets at the base of the pedals on a Horugel Grand.</DIV> <DIV>I was given some very good advice as to how to do this. The squeak (caused by the deteriorate rubber grommets) disappeared when I replaced them with buckskin.</DIV> <DIV>The pastors wife was happy with those results for a couple weeks and then the squeak returned. </DIV> <DIV>I spoke with her tonight and scheduled a service call for this Sat. 7-8-06</DIV> <DIV>I am at a loss on this one.</DIV> <DIV>The squeak comes and goes. On more than one occasion when she called me to have this fixed, I arrived at the church only to find that there was no squeak. </DIV> <DIV>As I do not doubt a clients word (my goal is to satisfy all clients) I am extremely puzzled regarding this one.</DIV> <DIV>When I was there last, I went ahead and  replaced some of the other "soon to wear out" pieces of buckskin in the trap workings. </DIV> <DIV>I glued them in place with CA glue. (buckskin to wood). Did I use the wrong glue perhaps?</DIV> <DIV>I certainly can't charge for this as the problem is not being resolved.
