Desperate measures!!! Has anyone mentioned Wurlitzer " silicone lube " ?? In the past, I've heard it is very affective, but don't know what kind , if any, problems are associated with it. ? ? ? I've heard that it has a tendency to migrate, possibly to places where it could cause problems. Check it out. Somebody out there must know, and maybe has some for you to try.

Hi, after a long absence ... Situation: Old upright Steinway with "the disease". MUST make it work, if at all possible, due to weird and too-long-to-explain circumstances. No money for new parts. Question: Is there ANYTHING that ANYONE has tried that will really loosen up those frozen flanges? Some miracle solvent? Witchcraft? Bribing Blagojevich?
