It's far quicker and easier to use a bottle with fine nozzle with Protek, rather than to re-pin. One has to make choices in these matters and the choice made depends on a number of factors, not least the quality and age of the piano, and of course the economic circumstances of the owner. In a fairly new concert grand one might made a decision different from that made for a clapped-out old cheap upright that was pretty poor even when brand new. Taking out the action and attempting to re-pin can lead to all sorts of additional problems in a rickety old action with flanges prone to splitting, and perished bridle tape ends etc. Best regards, David. > Marshall, > Why would you shove an oiler between action parts to lubricate, > instead of pulling the action and actually repinning those sluggish parts? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
