[pianotech] Damper wire bushing lubrication?

[William Monroe]

;-]

Just kidding, Barb.

I have a little brush that I found in a hobby shop - it's supposed to be a
single use type of affair.  The design is really perfect for this.  It's
about a 4" brush, very small, and the tip is a small round ball.  Dip in
Teflon, run through the bushing.  It's the perfect size for guide rails; the
ball tip passes easily through the bushing but with a good amount of
friction so the tip touches everywhere on the bushing.  Spin it in, spin it
out.  If I get a moment, I'll take a picture later and post it.
