    Hi all,
    Another problem from last week: I came to a fairly new C6 (2017 or 2018) with a disklavier installed. The sostenuto pedal had some noise which seemed to be coming from a bicycle-type cable actuator (a new collaboration with Shimano?). 

    Anyone have any experience dealing with these? It's hard to believe it would either need lubrication this soon after manufacture, or that lube might actually quiet it significantly.

    Thanks!
