"Static" sounds when sustain pedal/damper is disen

[acis]

Hi anyone has this problem? It's not a problem in live gigs but on recordings it's somewhat obvious. It somehow feels like everytime the damper is released, the audio cable that runs thru the harp is hitting something. help?

This same subject just came up a few days ago-you should be able to locate those posts easily. It most likely is a problem with the braided ground wire on the left side, going to the jack.It could be loose,broken,rubbing on something or may just need beefing up.Any wire will do as long as it's connected in the right spots.
It could also be your RCA wire-remove the harp cover and see what's going on on the left side of the harp when you use the pedal.The whole aluminum sustain rail could have popped out of its spot too..
