<HTML>I need some advice on eliminating = a squeak from my customer's Schimmel upright, serial #332199. This will = be my second callback on the problem. At first, the noise seemed to be c= oming from a bit of debris between one of the spoons and the lifter rod, but= a few hours after I left, the problem recurred. I went back and once ag= ain tried to isolate where the squeak was coming from. At first, it soun= ded like it was near the pedal rod to action connection, but then it seemed = to be at the pedal itself. I took the pedal bracket apart and lubricated= the pins and tightened everything down. There seemed to be some space b= etween the pedal rod and the plastic bracket allowing some movement, but not= enough space to insert even a thin cardboard punching. I thought I had = really found the problem in the metal ring that connects the pedal and trap = lever. I lubricated every moving part I could find with either Protek or= Prolube. I played the pedal about 400 times, had the customer play a co= uple of songs, and the squeak was gone. We were very relieved. Yeste= rday, two weeks and one day since my last visit, the customer called complai= ning that the squeak is back. I would appreciate any and all advice for = my appointment with her tomorrow either via the list or to my email account,= LadyPianoTuner.com. Thank you one and all.
