Yes actions pinns, as well as balance rail and front rail pins, i applied it with a small aplicator i got from Don Affleck's catalogue, it made very much a big diference in how action feels. As i said i put a set of hammers in that belongs in an imperial Bosey, after oiling it became lighter and more responcive, ill send u details with what oil i used if you like (give me a day or two to find the old bottle). I used a ummm......tampon (literally), i ripped the string out of the back and it made enough space inside of it, so i soaked it in some oil, and it made a perfect pocket for lubricating balance rail and front rail pins. i put out experiments to perhaps sometime in the future make my own donation to the piano industry with something no one has ether thought of or put into use... such experiments i didnt write about, but do include some of pianos structure... hope this helps Alicia > > I'm struggling with this.
