David Boyce Sent: Sunday, February 17, 2008 12:22 PM To: Pianotech List Subject: Re: lubricating V-bar Tom, you mention "Actually I would clean off the plate contact point with a brass brush and forget the lube". Yes, absolutely, in any kind of rebuild or new set of strings situation that would be the thing to do. But the cost of loosening and unhitching all the bass strings and reattaching and retuning them made this not an option here. David, You misunderstood my comment. Brush the schmutz off the v-bar-pin where the new string will occupy. NOT the entire set. Best wishes, Tom Driscoll
