Slow Hammer Return

[Avery]

Well, personally, I'd rather try olive oil than WD-40 as a lubricant. :-)

I've seen the damage WD-40 can do to a piano. Especially when sprayed on the
tuning pins to clean off the rust!

Of course, I've also seen some of the damage that 
those olive type drinks can do,
too! :-D
