Maybe point the problem out to the owner and have an understanding
that the recording will suffer from the squeaking and that you can not
be held liable for such an occurance?
I'm not trying to be a smart alec, just thinking that would be a heck
of a lot better then buying somebody a new baby grand.
I suppose the person at the keyboard wouldn't even know the problem
existed from thier seat.

I understand your point, but "not being held liable" for the squeak doesn't
help the recording. No one could extrapolate that the engineer caused the
noise in the recording. Nevertheless, this permanent record will be
blemished for all time.

I'm looking for a "safe and nontoxic" way to reduce or eliminate the
problem. I suspect that judicious application of graphite or teflon would
help. I also understand that misuse could make me liable for damages.
That's where the "judicious use" comes in.
