Snakehead tuners
I recently acquired the most wonderful blacktop early 1925 snakehead, that is so clean and farm fresh, and is generous to my ears beyond beyond my ability to verbally express. There is a problem though. The square end Wavery tuners, with plates that reflect as clearly as a fine mirror, are not operating easily. I took them apart, no cleaning of old lube or grime of any kind needed, and with the gear and shaft removed they are still very stubborn. I sprayed some PB Blaster on them, and they loosened a bit, but not much. Any ideas on what my next steps should be? I know I need to get some high pressure grease and lube them up, but I wondered if there might be some thing I am missing.
A wrong note played timidly is a wrong note. A wrong note played with authority is an interpretation.
