Roger: Which Protek product are you referring to?? I can't really tell as you said "one drip" - which makes it soul like Protek CLP, but you might be referring to Protek MPL - their "heavier" lube. fwiw I have been to a bulk lubricant distributor where I was given a sample of a lube called Aeroshell #6 - an aviation lube. This stuff is used between brass and steel parts (control cables for example) in aircraft and is guaranteed not to cause any problems between the two metals. I am bringing this up as I have a M&H "A" that has agraffes that are badly worn resulting in poor string rendering. My idea was the same as you have posted - placing a TINY bit on the top of the wire segment that is between the tuning pin and the agraffe - as close as possible to the agraffe - loosen the wire to allow the wire to carry the lube into the agraffe, then pull it back up to pitch. Needless to say, it will take very little lube to do this - assuming that it works. My mind tells me it should work, but I've been known to make more than a few thousand errors in judgement in my life. :-( John R. Fortiner Billings, MT.
