Hi Joseph, In my opinion they write it to avoid the polish to soak into the pinblock. l have seen some piano's that were treated with teakoil ( the kind you use for the furniture) cuz it makes your pins shine real nice. But the oil soaked into the pinblock and the tuningpins came loose. l think the same thing will happen when you put the polish near the tuningpins. Hope this helps.

Is it perhaps because the product contains the dreaded silicone substance? I also wonder about the high gloss polish, but no such admonition appears on the bottle. Any comments people?
