I am very much in favor of the protek & teflon articles but I miss one other article in the conversation and that is McLube. I have learned to be careful with McLube because if you use it on every imaginable friction point in the action, the result - can - be (depending on the kind of brand) an enormous loss of friction and thus grams, but at the same time a loss of feeling in the touch. I therefor use McLube mainly on the key frame pins, on the underside of key frame and on the capstans.McLube is quite durable and will remain for a long time where as CLP is less slippery and not meant for high friction. I gladly use CLP for center pins and for that it is really perfect. For the roulettes I mainly use teflon powder or McLube or a combination of both. For very heavy friction like on the Lyra and the pedals Iuse the protek cream. btw...wasn 't CLP an invention just for center pins? just curious.... friendly greetings from Antares, Amsterdam, Holland "where music is, no harm can be" antares the Netherlands www.concertpianoservice.nl www.grandpiano.nl ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
