Somewhere I heard it was either a red lead paint to add weight, or sealing wax. Also that fingernail polish works. Red so you can see what you have done? or that is most likely what a back stage chick will have. If it takes more than that, watch out, the tine might be ready to break. After all if it didn't loose any solder, how the heck did it go out sharp??They are the most stable I have seen other than reed organs. The place that sells parts must have a manual. If not Reblitz has pretty good action diagrams, and instructions and where the hidden screws are, like which ones you need to take out and those that can be left in.---ric
