Problem With Estey Baby Grand Pedals

[Don]

Hi Robert,

Put a flat head bolt in one end. Drill a hole a bit under size. Wrap the
end well with tape or butchers cord to prevent splitting and "thread" the
hole. Remove the reinforcement. Adjust the length as necessary to get a
good "fit".

It would be good to use a mechanic's stethescope to narrow down where the
creaking/squeaking is coming from.
