I believe its primary benefit is to tightly link the pins to the cap, secondarily to seal the cap surface against moisture transport that might accelerate cracking. I don't believe there's a need for surface lube on a bridge top - there's plenty of vibration to help strings move to equalize
tension.<BR>>><BR>>> Mike<BR><BR></td>
