The problem is the polyester rubbing against itself. Make sure the screws that hold the lyre braces are screwed in very tight. Make sure the bolts that hold the lyre box to the bottom of the piano are very tight. If they still squeak, put a little v-j lube between the parts. While you're at it, also check to make sure the bench legs and the leg bolts are tight.  <BR><BR></DIV> <DIV style="CLEAR: both">Willem (Wim) Blees, RPT<BR>Piano Tuner/Technician<BR>Honolulu, HI<BR>Author of <BR>The Business of Piano Tuning<BR>available from Potter Press<BR>www.pianotuning.com</DIV><BR><BR>-----Original Message-----<BR>From: Dahr-wynn <dahr-wynn@blakemorepianoservices.com><BR>To: piano tech list <pianotech@ptg.org><BR>Sent: Mon, 21 Jan 2008 6:19 pm<BR>Subject: Kohler & Campbell lyre squeek<BR><BR> <DIV id=AOLMsgPart_0_f9723671-a50a-444b-ac9a-f57354a3d175 style="FONT-SIZE: 12px; MARGIN: 0px; COLOR: rgb(0,0,0); FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma,Verdana,Arial,Sans-Serif; BACKGROUND-COLOR: rgb(255,255,255)"><PRE style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt"><TT>Hi all, I have a customer with a 7' Kohler and Campbell that has pedal noise/squeek. To her credit, she researched these before purchase and knew it was a problem. She was told that the 'Millenium Series' didn't have the same design, so it wouldn't have the same problem. Now she finds that that is not the case. I have taken the lyre apart and it seems that only replacing the whole assembly will solve the problem! What kind of junk is that?! So, is there any other wisdom out there to fix this problem? If I do get a new pedal pivot assembly, how do I know it won't do the same thing a few years down the road? thanks, Dahr-wynn Dahr-wynn Blakemore, Technician Blakemore Piano Services 503.869.2127 360.624.7673 <A href="mailto:Dahr-wynn@BlakemorePianoServices.com">Dahr-wynn@BlakemorePianoServices.com</A> Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life! </TT></PRE></DIV><ZZZ!-- --="" aolmsgpart_0_f9723671-a50a-444b-ac9a-f57354a3d175="" of="" end=""></ZZZ!--> <DIV class=AOLPromoFooter> <HR style="MARGIN-TOP: 10px"> More new features than ever.
