squeak/groan UST-7

[Lance Lafargue]

For several years I have applied Protek to the felt-about two drops.  If
possible I apply McLube 1725 (clear stuff) to the rod. If I am not
mistaken, this piano has heavy key and pedal resistance because of the
pedal design/lever geometry(?).  This increased friction may be why it is
occurring.  Regards,
