Hi again Julien, That noise should not be there. Notice the rod in shape of an "L". This piece is only needed when the pedal lyre is removed from the piano. It appears that metal on the black wooden lever is coming down and hitting this L. If the L is not coming out of the keybed at 90 degrees then bend it so it is. If that doesn't give enough clearance when the lever returns to rest, then turn it counter clockwise so the drops lower. You may have to make 1 or 2 360 degree turns to lower it enough. I hope this makes sense. Bill Love God. Love People. Make a difference. On Sep 6, 2015, at 8:17 AM, Bill Brandom billbrando@...

Julien, let me know. I believe if you make a recording pushing pedal down and letting it come up many times, and then play it back and get under the piano, you will see where the metallic noise is coming from.

Bill, my DKV sustain pedal sometimes makes a knocking sound sometimes, especially on quiet passages. Does not happen when I press pedal with my foot. Can't see anything visually. Any ideas? Sam www.keyboardcollective.com (212) 684-3304

My technician (Mark Hullibarger) lengthened my pedal rod just long enough to take up the excessive play that was making the noise. You have to be careful not to over tighten it which will hang up a solenoid and cause it to overheat and flip a code. When this happens, it plays correctly for a while and then you lose your petals until it cools down. You can figure out which Rod has too much play by letting the piano play and holding pressure on each petal rod in the up or down position until you hear the noise change. That's the offending rod.

Bill, in tightened the wing nut right on top of the pedal, knocking has stopped for now, but don't know if that has affected proper sustain playback. Is there a way to test this? I don't have a DKV tech, my regular tuner/tech doesn't know DKVs. Sam www.keyboardcollective.com (212) 684-3304 *(Sent from phone - please excuse brevity and typos.)

Bill, in tightened the wing nut right on top of the pedal, knocking has stopped for now, but don't know if that has affected proper sustain playback. Is there a way to test this?I don't have a DKV tech, my regular tuner/tech doesn't know DKVs.
