Have any of you used the tuning pin and coil cleaner from Schaff?  I was
just wondering if it was any good.  If it produces good results without
scratching the pins.

Such as?

            

How about adjusting lost motion, quieting squeaky –thumpy pedals, cleaning
keytops, ---the list of “better” repairs than cleaning tuning pins is a long
one.

Today for example I tuned a 20 year old K and C. ( Samick) grand and needed
to pull the action to free a few tight action centers. While it was out I
lubed the creaky knuckles with Teflon powder. No big deal but a good example
of David’s point.

The piano (along with the client) will tell you what to focus on.
