I have seen cases where the squeak is coming from the sole and pedal contact. If this is not the answer then keep pushing the pedal and the squeak is sure to return.</FONT></SPAN></DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=767101612-06072006><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#0000ff size=4></FONT></SPAN> </DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=767101612-06072006> <DIV align=left><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" size=4>Wayne Walker</FONT></DIV> <DIV align=left><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" size=4>Piano Tuner / Technician</FONT></DIV> <DIV align=left> <DIV align=left><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" size=4></FONT></DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" size=2><STRONG>Musicstop Acoustic Piano Service</STRONG></FONT></DIV> <DIV align=left><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" size=2><STRONG>264 Herring Cove Road</STRONG></FONT></DIV> <DIV align=left><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" size=2><STRONG>Halifax, NS, Canada</STRONG></FONT></DIV> <DIV align=left><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" size=2><STRONG>B3P 1M1</STRONG></FONT></DIV> <DIV align=left> <DIV align=left><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" size=2><STRONG>902-221-1540</STRONG></FONT></DIV> <DIV align=left><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" size=2><STRONG>902-496-6924 Fax</STRONG></FONT></DIV> <DIV align=left><STRONG><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" size=2><A href="http://www.musicstop.com/">www.musicstop.com</A></FONT></STRONG></DIV></DIV></SPAN></DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE dir=ltr style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px"> <DIV></DIV> <DIV class=OutlookMessageHeader lang=en-us dir=ltr align=left><FONT face=Tahoma size=2>-----Original Message-----<BR><B>From:</B> Mark's Piano Service [mailto:mps@usol.com] <BR><B>Sent:</B> Thursday, July 06, 2006 12:20 AM<BR><B>To:</B> Pianotech<BR><B>Subject:</B> Help with squeaky pedals<BR><BR></FONT></DIV> <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. I am looking incompetent!</DIV> <DIV>Can you help???</DIV> <DIV>Any tips/suggestions welcome</DIV> <DIV>Thanks in advance</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Mark</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Mark D.
