I've heard
and felt a tiny squeaking on a knuckle..........<U>before</U> I put =
teflon on
it, but never after that. I've never heard of teflon causing squeaks on
anything. Maybe you're thinking of the Steinway teflon bushings. And I =
thought
the major complaint on those were "clicks". Micro-fine teflon is the =
greatest
thing since sliced bread when it comes to knuckles, IMHO. There's still =
plenty
of friction in the rest of the action so that the pianist will always =
have
plenty of control. </FONT></DIV>
