The sound is as unbearable as fingernails on a chalkboard or cycling with an unoiled chain.  <\/p>\n<p>Recently, I came across a simple solution from a reliable source in Japan. I was curious, tried it, and the result was pure peace of mind.<br \/>\nThe cause of the horrible sound is residue buildup on the peg. Once removed, the problem is gone \u2014 it\u2019s that simple.<br \/>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.11.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h2>Materialis<\/h2>\n<p>To banish the squeak once and for all, you\u2019ll only need a few household items:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">water<br \/>dish soap<br \/>sponge<br \/>kitchen towel<br \/>cotton swabs<br \/>paper towel<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.11.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; custom_margin=&#8221;55px|||||&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>The Procedure<\/h2>\n<p>The tuning peg just needs a thorough cleaning.

The easiest way is to loosen the peg and gently pull the string downward.
