 Re: How often do you "grease?"
Author: Philip Caron

I grease when I feel the joints binding during assembly, maybe every 5 - 6 uses. Maybe I'm alone in this belief, but I suspect any rotational bind in the joints hampers normal vibration of the instrument. I think it sounds better when it goes together smoothly. You don't want joints loose, but avoid "stick" friction. Having said that, I grease minimally, just a trace to allow smooth assembly. Any build up of grease indicates too much, which I don't know what harm it does, but I don't want it.
