I have a bottle with a plastic end to it like a the size of a nose drop dropper. Will this be skinny enough to get between actioi parts to lubricate them, or would the metal oiler work better? I have that one too somewhere. I need to find it again.  If I cannot find it, will places like lowes or home depot sell those or is that somethiing I  need to get throgh a piano supply house?  Thanks again</font><br> <font size="3" face="Arial">Marshall</font><br> <br><br><span style="font-weight: bold;"><font size="3"><span style="font-family: Garamond, Times, Serif;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Marshall Gisondi Piano Technician</span></span></font></span><br><span style="font-weight: bold;"><font size="3"><span style="font-family: Garamond, Times, Serif;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Marshall's Piano Service</span></span></font></span><br><b><em><font size="3" face="Garamond">pianotune05@hotmail.com</font></em></b><br><span style="font-weight: bold;"><font size="3"><span style="font-family: Garamond, Times, Serif;"><span style="font-style: italic;">215-510-9400</span></span></font></span><br><b><em><font size="3" face="Garamond"><a href="http://www.phillytuner.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">www.phillytuner.com</a> </font></em></b><br><span style="font-weight: bold;"><font size="3"><span style="font-family: Garamond, Times, Serif;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Graduate of The School of Piano Technology for the Blind <a href="http://www.pianotuningschool.org/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">www.pianotuningschool.org</a> Vancouver, WA<br><br><br><br><br></span></span></font></span><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><font size="3"><span style="font-family: Garamond, Times, Serif;"></span></font></span></span> </div></div> </div><br><br> </div> </div> </div></body></html>
