“Sticky” sounding pedals<br />

After you have played your pedalboard for a while you may notice notes<br />

that produce a sound which gives you the impression that the note is<br />

sticking at the top of the key travel. This is being caused by the movement<br />

of the curved end of the spring off of the black felt area at the black key<br />

underside end of the pedalboard. First locate the spring by looking<br />

directly down between the E and F or B and C. Here is what you will see.<br />

At any hardware store you should be able to locate felt pads. I used ¾”<br />

(19mm) square, 2mm thick, pads with adhesive on the back.<br />

Stand the pedalboard up (an assistant is helpful) and face the underside.<br />

Locate the area under the end of the spring and apply the pad at a 90°<br />

angle with equal parts distributed toward wall and floor.<br />
