Now heres a new one for ya... tuning pin lubricant eh ??? Actually I
know the piano you are refering to and I can sympathize with your
problem. I have found that the best solution is to simply remove the pin
and bang it in again. Turn it all the way out after disconecting the
string, then bang it in again and put the string back on. This should
ease up the tightness a bit without requiring any non-desirable
lubricants from getting into the wood.

Good Luck.
