<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I corrected a =

some Walters where the spoons were hitting the damper rod, but the =
swings seem
to be your problem here. Are they nylon or metal w/ cloth bushings?It =
may be
possible to drill out the nylon holders and bush w/ cloth. Just a =
thought,but
I'd try the V.J. lube first. Tom Driscoll</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Liszt,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I've ran across a consistent =
problem in
Langer actions in that they squeak. The problem seems to be in =
the
dampers. Typically, the action will squeak when the damper pedal =
is
depressed. I usually pull the action, remove the damper lifter =
rods and
lubricate the bushings with petroleum jelly. Mostly this is =
done on
Charles Walter Pianos but I have done it on some of the Kimballs with =
Langer
actions there at the end. </FONT><FONT face=Arial

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I did this on a =
Walter about 3
months ago and it's squeaky again. Any suggestions?</FONT></DIV>
