Using oil is not recommended in a piano. It attracts dirt and grime. Call a piano tech or have them look at it when they tune it. It won't cost much have it fixed properly.
------------------------------------------------------
You will need to access the mechanical linkings in the bottom most part of the piano. To do this, you will need to open the lower panel (usually a knob or metal type spring holds it in place) which will expose the mechanical linkings for the 3 pedals. Apply a light grade oil (sewing machine or hair clipper oil) to the pivot points nearest the actual pedals themselves. Work the pedals to make sure the oil penetrates the moving joints. Wipe up any excess oil that may have dripped onto the inside floor of the piano. Replace the lower panel (there are a couple guide pins that line up with holes in the bottom of the panel and secure in place. There is also a spring and connection behind the action that might be causing a little squeaking noise, too. To access this, remove the front panel that exposes the action (hammers, strings, etc). At either end is a know, unscrew this and remove, and gently tilt the action toward you. Look down between the strings and the action, and there should be a connection joint and/or spring. Place a few drops of the previously mentioned lubricating oil at the rod connection joint being extremely careful not to spill any on the rest of the mecanisms or hammers. Gently tilt the action back into place and again secure with the knobs.

I have an 70s MXR Flanger Pedal that lights up when pressed but doesn't apply the effect so where can I get this fixed or fix myself and will it cost more to fix it than a new pedal?
Check the foot switch is probably what is failing normally this is the part that has more wear and tear because of the constant use of not having a solution study the possibility of buying a new foot switch as last recommendation to fail the previous purchase a pedal new
How do you fix the sustain on your upright Baldwin piano?
Most common problem is that the pusher rod has dropped out of place. Take the board off the bottom front (it snaps out). Then you can see very easily how it works and what is broken. Usually you can just put the rod back in place. You may have to adjust the play with the adjusting nut on the pedal. The pedal may also be broken but not likely.

What is a dead piano key and how easier is it to repair?
A dead piano key is when a key on the piano won't play: something in the mechanism is not transferring the force from the key press to the hammer. It could be an easy fix or could be a difficult fix. It could be as simple as a missing hammer or as complex as regulation. If you get the piano tuned, the tuner should be able to fix the regulation. I only know uprights and cannot say for a grand piano. But in an upright there are a few regulation screws that when you turn the right ways you can regulate the piano yourself. There is one screw (Capstan) on the key lever itself that may need to be adjusted up to push the hammer into the string. or it could be the regulation on the Jack (letoff) that needs to be brought down, thus pushing the hammer up sooner. Remember there are thousands of pieces in the piano and just one piece being out of whack can throw the one key out of commission.
