RE termination lubrication: No spray cans, use a small artist brush. Put only the smallest drop where it belongs. Creep is limited by volume. If you go this route, and you usually don't have to if you're in the habit of letting the tension down before raising pitch, use a lubricant with a low viscosity. Dirt that adheres to the lubricant will foul up the termination and turn bright tone to mush. Carl
