Hello Danny: This is a 'sticky' problem in the humid eastern part of the US, and I've found the only thing that works is talc or something like it. It's amusing that one can go to all the effort and expense of playing on good gut strings and still produce the sneakers-on-a-gymnasium-floor sound, not unlike fingers squeaking on wound synthetic bass strings.
