On a couple of recent gigs I've had to record pianos with squeaky

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?

Use LPS 2 .. Use only LPS2 no other LPS product. This is a non oil, non
silcone product. I've used it for 34 years on all my woodworking
equipment. Leaves no residue on wood when applied properly and with
restraint. It does not attack lacquer finishes and can be easily wiped
of with a clean cloth. Recommended lubricant from almost all machinery
manufactures. Never use wd-40. This is not a lubricant It is a solvent
and desolves other lubricants.

Correct that to LPS1 Sorry. LPS 2 is like wd-40 . It is LPS 1 that
leaves no film or oils and will not attack paints,.


If it doesn't leave a film, how does it lubricate?


Here are the spec's on LPS 1

* Provides a dry, thin lubricating film

WD-40 leaves a dry film when dry.

I have been using CRC 2-26.

Plastic safe, multipurpose, precision lub. Improves electrical properties.
Leaves a thin molecular non-hardening film. Approved for poultry plants.
The really neat thing is its dirt cheap at The Home Depot, for 11 oz.
