Bare Bridge

[ETomlinCF3@AOL.COM]

You probably came across a Permalon lubricant.  It is invisible and works 
great.  It is the same as the green "Emralon" you see on some brands jack 
tenders and reps.  This stuff is translucent.

<< Today I tuned an August Forster, 6 month old grand, model 170 (5'7"). Nice
 piano, nice tone, nothing unusual except..tada..a bare bridge, no graphite,
 no kind of lubrication that I could see. Beautiful piece of wood, startling
 in contrast to what I usually see on bridges. This piano tuned up very
 nicely and easily. My question is do any of you know if there is a
 lubricant, obviously invisible, on the bridge. And if there isn't, then why
 do most other manufacturers put something there?
