John,
I would NEVER put ProTech or anything else, that stays around =
indefinately, on the pressure points of the strings! The only thing I've =
ever used is LPS-1. It will not stay around and "contaminate", like all =
others I've tested. It dispels water and lubricates...that's all. It =
disipates w/in a few days and doesn't "creep" into places we don't want =
it.
As for this specific piano, (i.e. PSO), the problem probably lies in the =
Counter Bearing Bars. This model has been notorious for this problem. =
Years ago, Del, as a matter of course, used to take the Counter Bearing =
Bars off of NEW S&S uprights and grind them down, so that the Bar would =
do what it was supposed to do....Counter Bear.<G> I've run into many of =
these beasts and don't like them atall! It is difficult to convince the =
Client, that their revered/lovely S&S has a major problem w/production =
Quality Control and needs to be "Modified"! Horrors! Yikes! Gadzooks! =
etc.<G>
