with a Steinway rep. The question was asked, "why is it so hard to
tune the upper treble on a Steinway?" His answer was to use Protex
Prolube on the felt that is just above the "V" bar. He didn't
know why it worked but it did. So the next time I tuned a Steinway
upright I used the Prolube and by God! It workes!! Don't ask me to give
an explanation as to why it works but it does. Has anybody else tried
this? <br>
