Out in the shop this afternoon putting stuff away and attempting to clean up some, I came across a little round can of graphite stuff that I've had forever. It has been totally covered in black gunk since I've had it, so I decided to clean it up and see if I could read the label. Turns out it's from Tuners Supply, specially formulated for piano use, whatever that is. I've used it on machinery a couple of times through the years, but never in a piano. Don't see any reason to start now, but I thought someone might be interested in seeing the label of a real antique supply item. Ron N I probably shouldn't share this information because I regret that a predecessor frequently used something similar on knuckles, bushings and such. Really messy and doesn't work as good as teflon powder or protek. He said he made it with graphite & lanolin. Tom A FINE TECHNICIAN Thos.
