Hi Carmen, Am I understanding you correctly? If so, are you active in a local chapter of PTG? I am sure that many on the list would frown on this approach, some changes in hammer techique could save you a lot of time with your friction problems. Lubricants have a nasty habit of working down a string and messing up the dampers. On newer pianos this practice could void the warranty. Regards Roger I routinely lube the bearings before every tuning on >every piano. I do not limit it to just rusty strings, but all pianos.
