I get good results using Music Medic Ultimax pivot and roller lubricant on pivot screws. I haven't done so, but I imagine a dab could be applied to the threaded post a hinge rod screws into to prevent rust.
Anti Seize
having encountered TOO many long neglected saxophones with frozen rods and pivot screws I have often pondered what could be done to minimise the potential damage of neglect. I like to oil the threads of hinge rods with heavy oil while I have of late taken to applying a copper based anti-seize grease for pivot screws. I would like to seek a consensus of those here with what methods they employ to minimise the potential for long term neglect or simply what they use for pivot screws and hinge rods.
