Hi, Especially in the case of drop action spinets and player pianos. The oils are a solution that should be considered. GJ in my testing does not harm bass strings damper felts or glue joints.

I'll definitally check the seating of the string that's giving the piano trouble. I think Im going to seat all of the strings on the Yamah I'm visiting this upcoming week. Another thing I'm wondering is this. I might need to lubricate some sluggish action centers on Monday. I have a bottle with a plastic end to it like a the size of a nose drop dropper. Will this be skinny enough to get between actioi parts to lubricate them, or would the metal oiler work better? I have that one too somewhere. I need to find it again. If I cannot find it, will places like lowes or home depot sell those or is that somethiing I need to get throgh a piano supply house?
