Yama-help, s.v.p.!

[Mark Cramer]

This is correct. The 'ticks' happen "all-on-their-own," perhaps 4 or 5 in a
row, kind of like the last few kernels in a bag of micro-popcorn.

Not meaning to be difficult, but the sound does really seem to be coming
from the reps. It is a very "pin-point" source, as in "tick, there's one,
then tick, there's another over here, etc."   And to repeat, this happened
during trouble-shooting, after lowering the shanks to rest, but without
playing a note!?

Let my try a different angle; have any of you ever experienced an upright
piano where the first time you played a note it ticked, and this happened
over a series of notes?

I've expereienced this with several instruments, and my hunch was the return
spring, either at the coil or at the hook.

Nonetheless, I'd never taken the time to trouble-shoot the uprights either.

thanks,

Mark-
Do you mean this literally?  You lowered the shanks to rest, and the action
was just sitting there, you were not touching it, and it began to click on
its own?  Wow!  Was it just after the faculty and staff Christmas party?
