State University of New York at Stony Brook Stony Brook, NY Joseph Vitti Piano Technician Music 516 632-7330 04-Sep-1996 09:57am EDT FROM: JVITTI TO: Remote Addressee ( _pianotech@byu.edu ) Subject: Key Bushings I'm sorry if I sound like I'm pushing a product (which I am) but I have found Protek Prolube to be a great product for key bushings. If you don't want to spray the pins you can put a few drops on the bushings. I have even treated the felt before re-bushing the keys, just make sure it cures for a few days before gluing the felt to the keys. Prolube has the advantage of molecular bonding to the felt or pin. It is a stronger formula than CLP so it will withstand heavy playing friction.It is also a product like CLP which was designed for pianos and not a crossover from another industry.
