[I think the idea that stabbing a soundpost will have an acoustical effect can be fairly easily verified. Start with a solid soundpost measure it's resonance profile, stab it and measure again. If there is no change then the likelihood of it changing the sound of the instrument is near zero.

I would be seriously surprised if there's any change, after all no wood is removed, neither stiffness, mass nor damping properties of the post are significantly changes by stabbing.

I believe the scientific method calls for hypothesis testing, peer approval etc.

I use bee wax as well on bow screws, fine tuners, IF slugs in radio coils, or any place you want a clean, dry lubricant. I think the bee wax has enough stickiness to prevent threads from turning by themselves.

I think IF slugs in radio coils went out in the '60's. But if I
had some bees wax back then I would have used it in calibrating
my oscillators and so on.
