Squeaky Sustain pedal

[superdrew]

I have a Kohler and Campbell baby grand piano and it recently started squeaking very loudly when I would use the sustain pedal. I was able to figure out that the noise was not coming from the pedal itself by moving just the action and not the pedal. I think it may be from the wooden dowel that connects to the inside of the piano. I tried moving it around but it still squeaks. Is there anything that I can do so I don't have to pay for a piano tuner to fix it?

Can you get some talcum powder in there?  That should do it, if you can.  But don't use any form of liquid lube or spray or silicone -- your technician would never speak to you again!

 The pitman post cannot be reached without dismantle of the lyre and the action will have to come out.

Sure take it apart yourself and fix it. But you run the risk of causing more fees to be paid to a professional to correct any mistakes made.
