That's been my impression over the years. I thought I was just superstitious. It's not superstitious. I can't exactly say why that is or what makes it but almost every piano that I tuned that has blued tuning pins tunes better, holds better and has a lot of less problems with loose tuning pins!

I've noticed it too. It seems like the pin moves more smoothly and the hammer tip grips the pin better. I don't see how this can be though but there must be something to it.
How do you feel about using Ballistol lube on kepins? I've been using it instead of micro fine Teflon spray and just love it.

To be honest with you, I can't answer that question. I've never tried it before.
