      Wow , Arthur


      This subject has been round this list numerous times. You have a =
rip snortin case of vertigris. The green grit, the green slim , the =
factory gift that keeps on giving year after year. The short version is =
nothing works long term. (No it probably wasn't the floor humidifier) =
Short term, use whatever works remember it's ALL temporary. 1 to 12 =
months or so. My latest favorite is goose juice from Joe Goss ant mother =
Goose tools. Ask some one to post  his address I don't have it on file.
     I hope this helps some. nahhhh
     Dale



    List,
    I have a customer with a 1921 Steinway Upright with very slow hammer =
return, which I think was caused by a floor humidifier.  I  heated the =
hammer butt centers with a hair dryer, which freed up the hammers for =
about 1 hour. The questions is what do you think is the most reliable =
way to free up sluggish hammers without replacing center pins or parts?  =
Should I use silicone and naptha, alcohol and methanol or install a =
Dammp-Chaser heater bar with a humidistat?

    Thanks,
    Arthur
