I've also used paraffin and agree that it works well. Word of caution...it's highly flammable.

I've tried it and it works great.

I'm not satisfied with my current lubeing routine for trapwork. May I ask what is your's ? (I put Protek mpl-1 fluoropolymer grease at leather-brass contacts and at felt-wood contacts, and clp at metal hinges ; I replace felt in the guides and put teflon powder on the felt. It still squeeks, dammit.) Also, is there a way to prevent the pianist's shoe's sole to squeek against the brass pedal ? Stéphane Collin.
