If anyone isn't using the "Don Mannino" style straight reamers (available
from Schaff) you don't know what your missing.  I only wish they would go up
to a 23 center pin...I know I should rebush but occassionally...

Don (what a great name!),

That they seized up doesn't mean the Protec was the cause.  it just means it
didn't work to prevent it.

Reaming and repinning will take care of it.  Be accurate, be consistent - it
makes a world of difference in the touch, and the tone will likely improve,
too!

  To the List - A fellow colleague proteked the hammer and whippen flanges
of a
  new Steinway only to have them completely seize up resulting in the need
to
  repin the whole darn works.  So.....is the bushing cloth used on these
  instruments treated with Emeralon which reacts adversely to Protek?  I
myself
  have used Protek on older S&S pianos here and there with good results.
