Dahr-Wynn The problem is not in the pedals. The problem is the polyester rubbing against itself. Make sure the screws that hold the lyre braces are screwed in very tight. Make sure the bolts that hold the lyre box to the bottom of the piano are very tight.?If they still squeak, put a little v-j lube between the parts. While you're at it, also check to make sure the bench legs and the leg bolts are tight. ?

To her credit, she researched these before purchase and knew it was a problem. She was told that the 'Millenium Series' didn't have the same design, so it wouldn't have the same problem. Now she finds that that is not the case. I have taken the lyre apart and it seems that only replacing the whole assembly will solve the problem! What kind of junk is that?! So, is there any other wisdom out there to fix this problem? If I do get a new pedal pivot assembly, how do I know it won't do the same thing a few years down the road? thanks, Dahr-wynn Dahr-wynn Blakemore, Technician Blakemore Piano Services 503.869.2127 360.624.7673 Dahr-wynn at BlakemorePianoServices.com Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life! ________________________________________________________________________ More new features than ever.
