Ballistol, from Mother Goose Tools should work for leather. John Ross Windsor, Nova Scotia ----- Original Message ----- From: Gregor _ To: pianotech at ptg.org Sent: Saturday, March 21, 2009 9:24 AM Subject: [pianotech] squeaking leather key bushings List, what would you use to eliminate the squeaking of old leather key bushings? I assume nothing that is liquid or greasy? What´s about talkum powder or teflon powder? And what´s about Protec CLP (which is liquid)? A customer called me today and complained about squeaking. I tuned her piano and eliminated some squeaking 6 weeks ago, but I can´t remember the origin of that squeaking nor what I did to fix it. Given that it was a key squeaking and not an action squeaking I assume that I applied some talkum powder to the leather. If so, it seems that this is not a long lasting solution for that problem. What would be better in the long run? Maybe that I am completely wrong and that the squeaking had another source, e.g. the center of the jack or whatever.
