On a couple of recent gigs I've had to record pianos with squeaky pedals.
I know that's the domain of the tuner/maintainer guy, but his neglect
doesn't cut it when it's time to record.

Is there a safe and useful spray or liquid I can apply to temporarily
silence the mechanism without causing any permanent mechanical or cosmetic
damage?


Where's the squeak coming from? Piano tuners carry powdered graphite.
I've seen one cure a squeak with washing-up liquid.
