Thats generally for letting the string move back and forth over the contact surfaces easier, and isnt really related to string buzzes. Tho when you first mention it I once knew a fellow who advocated the use of sewing machine oil on Grand agraffes and capos for string noises. He made a big point of not useing it on uprights, and I dont personally recommend oil on either. > Thanks for your comments, > > Charles Cheers ! -- Richard Brekne RPT, N.P.T.F.
