List - Is this a nomenclature (part name) problem? >On Fri, 8 Nov 1996, oorebeek wrote: > >"Try spraying McLube on the bridge it mostly helps" > Since this was in relation to knuckles making a noise, a number of us have had difficulty seeing what it had to do with bridges. Andre - in our usage of (American?) English piano terminology, the knuckles are in the action, the bridge (I believe it is 'Steg' in German, don't know your Dutch term) is on the sound board where the strings cross. You could use McLube on the bridge but I can't see how it would help action noises. Since all the other parts you mentioned spraying are in the action, I assume you referred to some part of the action; would the repitition lever window appear to be a 'bridge,' or the balance rail? While I am on nomenclature, Barry - you asked about adding "belly bars" in reference to the dead note problem. I wonder if you referred to what we call "ribs" on this side of the Atlantic.
