<P class=MsoNormal>Hi all. Customer has a Young Chang grand aprox. 10
years old. When the damper pedal is pushed, a “crunchy” sound can be
heard in the back action. The damper levers sit on a rail that is
covered with felt. If I lift the damper levers with my hands and then
push the pedal up and down, the sound goes away in that section.
<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Is the rail/tray felt making noise as it rubs on the bottom
of the wooden damper levers or is the sound travelling from somewhere
else? I’m going back tomorrow and may try to rough up the felt but I
wanted to ask y’all first. <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Thanks in advance. <o:p></o:p></P>
