[CAUT] Vertigris on Action Rail

[tannertuner]

Hi Ed,
I'm guessing the lacquer thinner will "kill" the vertigris and prevent future growth? I was trying steel wool alone but it wasn't getting in the creases, which makes me think it'll be right back in the new parts in a couple years. I've got several clients with vertigris issues, but this is the first time I've ever been able to convince one to spend the money to replace the parts, so I'd not had to clean the rails - just keep the old gummy ones working.
 
Thanks,
Jeff

Hi all,

What's the best way to clean vertigris off the wippen rail of an old Steinway?

Thanks,

Jeff



A little lacquer thinner on a piece of steel wool gets things done, fast.
