Cali,
I had sticky key questions before and you mentioned you would send me some teflon powder and instructions. It was just before your big festival and I am sure you were swamped. If you could at least tell me what to buy and how to use it on my minstrel.
Thanks,
Pat Wright

Dear Wolfgang,
This is a very generous offer, thank you. I would indeed be interested in
hearing about your technique.
I think that this is exactly the kind of discussion that should go on this
list. With your agreement I propose the following which I think will
address several issues at once.
First, the population of the list changes frequently and not everyone is
acquainted with us, so if you would be willing to start with a short
introduction of who you are and what you have been working on. This will
give everyone a context in which to put the information. You have been
doing some amazing things of which not everyone is aware.
Second, let us go back to posting this under the topic of "Sticky Keys" so
that readers like Ben who are not interested can quickly delete the posts.
Third, please post your techniques and materials for dealing with sticky
keys and if necessary give your reasons why you use the particular
materials and protocols.
Fourth, I will respond with the same and would like to invite the other
luthiers lurking on the list to do the same--Bela, Chris, Helmut, Marcello,
Matt, Mike, Nagy, Neil, anyone else have some input?
Finally, once we have all weighed in to our satisfaction Alden and I will
post this discussion on our FAQ. In this way we can put all this knowledge
in one place and direct any further questions about the topic to an easily
accessible place. Hopefully this will minimize further discussion on the
list while still providing a broad spectrum of ideas from which players can
make an informed choice.
Sound okay to you?
I will ask that you be a little patient over this next week with my reply
because we are getting ready to go to OTW on Tuesday and things are a bit
hectic around here :-)
Also, anyone willing to post to this discussion should be aware that this
information will be posted to a public website rather than just a private
e-mail list and by participating you are giving implicit permission for us
to post this. (Sorry about the legalese, I guess I worked in a law firm
too long ;-) )
