Pure guesswork on my part but has the cotton bung become saturated with oil?
I had some very unusual things happen when that occurred and I had a pool of
oil in there.
Only other thing I could suggest is to make sure the pads seat and lift off
cleanly - and don't try and sneak the key off - lift it off smartly (half
open holes can make funny noises).
Sorry, that's all I can think of from my own experience. I'm sure lots of
good suggestions will follow.

Subject: [NSP] Noises from keys
I am just starting to try and use the keys on my 7-key chanter. I'm
having a bit of a random issue with the lower 3 keys, when i open them
i sometimes get a high pitched "squeak" rather than the appropriate
note. Does anyone have any idea why this might be?
Cheers - Neil
