Ruth said: "Try applying graphite on the butt skin and also on the capston screw surface that is rubbing against the whippen heel cloth if the parts are not worn off yet. Ruth Lee All, I wish ya'll would forget graphite even existed. It has no place in a piano, IMO! There are better substances to use, such as Teflon, Talc, etc. If the leather is hard OR if it isn't leather then either a softening agent or replacement is in order. Graphite is a type of stone. Initially it will make something smoother, but then it rubs off on the other part. Now you have stone against stone! Yikes! Stop already! Please????!!!
