Only by making sure the proper amount of friction is present and properly regulating of the parts will provide the desired result.  Too often lube just gunks things  up.  A properly regulated piano should operate with NO LUBE!</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Carl Knott</DIV> <DIV>Knott Piano Services</DIV> <DIV>Kansas City Area</DIV></BODY></HTML>
