Scratchy sound? What part is doing it? On Yamahas there is a nylon (or whatever it is) spacer/nut on the prop under the pedal that can squawk. No amount of lube will help. You need to detach the pedal from the bottom board, detach the pedal prop from the lever. Put a leather punching--lubed with your favorite grease--between the nylon nut and the pedal. Reassemble. That's the fix for that squeak.

How do you eliminate that scratchy sound on Asian uprights when the sustain pedal is played? What is the procedure used? Remove brackets and lube with pianotech glide stuff?
