Greetings, A new Steinway D. Going over the action, I notice a knocking sound when the pedal is used in rapid repetition. I guess people most often call it "fluttering the pedal", (which calls to mind a goodle Southern boy trying to impress the flower of the Confederacy). This noise was the result of a factory defect, and I fixed it with a screwdriver and my cordless drill with a #9 bit. It was not in the trapwork. It was not in the underlevers. I didn't touch the tray. Regards, Ed Foote (oohh, I hope it takes everybody a whole long time, but this is a fast crew.....)
