Squeaky triple pedal

Postby dhbp-nord » 27 Jul 2021, 02:26

The sustain on my triple pedal has become quite noisy/squeaky - has anyone had any luck oiling these pedals, and if so where in the pedal?

Cheers

For lubricating plastic parts perhaps it would be best to use silicone grease, not oil as it might deteriorate the plastic.

I had this problem with my Roland DP-10. I typically used it angled slightly to the right and the metal pedal began rubbing against the plastic side housing producing a loud squeak. The solution was to angle it slightly to the left so when depressing the metal pedal it moved away from the plastic side.

If this solves the issue it will save you disassembly and mess. Good luck
