<DIV><SPAN class=750132518-08092007><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2>I recently achieved acceptable results by using Teflon powder on the
felt bushing that the metal rod passes through. I figured that since it works so
well on hammer knuckles, (wood against leather), and key bushings, (metal
against felt), why not on pedal rod bushings too? I didn't want to use
anything that was not dry in that area because it would be an invitation for a
buildup of contamination with dust etc. Anyone else ever use this? Any idea how
long it might last?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">I've searched the archives, but can't find the
thread. Two Asian pianos, K&C (Samick) and a PR . Both uprights, with
same problem. Sustain rod is making that scratchy noise . What is the lube
of choice, does the bracket have to be removed to apply? Should I rebush
with new buckskin? Very troublesome ....<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P></DIV>
