Disklavier

It seems the right pedal on my Clavinova (cvp 201 series)is now busted due
to misuse and overuse (it's been almost 4 years now).
It still works, but it makes this AWFUL clanking noise no matter how you
press it (I've tried altering my pedalling technique to see if that helped)
I now a few of you would be familiar with this problem so I need to know:
1. Can the part be replaced?
2. How much for changing JUST the right pedal? (2 other pedals work fine)
3. If the part replacement is too expensive, can a technician fix it?

I'm in Australia, but I shouldn't have any problems getting the parts or
service I need, just wanted to hear from you guys first.

thanks in advance,

eli

P.S. In case you were wondering, I've re-posted this message, since the 
original got no replies. Some other pedal question got about 10 replies 
overnight, I was not impressed. (It seems people here only care/know about 
current models. Maybe we should rename the group "current yamahas yahoo 
group?)

Hello Eli!

Your posting probably got no replies because this group is about 
disklavier pianos and their owners, and not for clavinovas :-)

That said, I would expect several people here to have both, so maybe you 
will eventually get a response if you keep repeating long enough :-)

Have you investigated the mechanics of the pedal? The chances are 
something has worked loose or worn, and you could probably quite easily 
fix it (I had similar problems with a clavinova many years ago - there 
were a couple of adjustments to be made to the pedal mechanism and some 
wear on some of the casing. Padding this out and readjusting fixed the 
problem in about half an hour.

Regards,

James
