Kaboom!!!  The container even says to avoid static electricity.  Wow!  This
is for a 1950s Steinway that has about 1.5 swings on the hammer flanges.
The piano sat virtually unused (by the original owner) until the mid 90s.  

 

Thanks for the info Ed.  Wish me luck.

Cleaning verdigris or knuckles?  Yes, this is the stuff.

Some folks suggest blowing it into the flanges with compressed air.

Sometimes it works, and I've never had it harm anything. It may take two or
three applications.

I'm assuming you don't smoke.
