greenfingers Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 (edited) Greetings folks, After only 6 months of on/off playing, under an hour a day X 5 days a week. The sustain pedal is squeaky. No problem the fist 20-30 minutes of play, but after that the noise is really annoying. After some YouTube research, Materialix 100% PTFE Dry Lubricant Ultra fine Powder (Teflon Powder) used on acoustic piano, though not digital. Would this be the correct solution? or warranty claim? TIA! Edited September 3, 2021 by greenfingers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Muscara Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 I'd go with the warranty claim first. I have no idea what lubricant to use on a digital piano pedal. It might be completely different than for an acoustic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenfingers Posted September 7, 2021 Author Share Posted September 7, 2021 Thanks, that's what I told the piano store. Salesman said to increase the tension nut that adjusts the height below the pedals. I've tried increase/decrease height with no luck, however I am trying a toilet shims (sorry yikes) I saw in the garage and it HAS NOT squeak yet with longest playing time of an hour! So we'll see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Martin Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 99% of the time it is the height / tension adjustment below the pedal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bohemian Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 I have found that the pedals respond to the type of footwear I'm wearing. I cannot play my GP-300 in ordinary shoes without getting the squeaky pedal noise. I'm assuming it has something to do with weight and how the weight is distributed in ordinary shoes. The only footwear I can wear without squeaky pedal noise are Giesswein slippers (I am not associated with the company. It just happens to be the footwear that works for me).
