[CAUT] Fortepiano key noise

[johnsond]

Hi-

We have a very nice Graf copy that is only about 5 years old and next 
week we have David Breitman coming to play and teach on that piano.   
The instrument is not used a lot, and never moved from the hall which 
has good climate control.  I just noticed while tuning that it seems to 
have more key noise than I remembered, so took a closer look and was 
surprised by the fore/aft movement of key pulley.   I haven't had to do 
much key work on one of these, so was wondering if anyone has a 
suggestion as to what is normal.  Is it unreasonable to expect these 
keys to have no pull like a modern piano?   It's a beautiful instrument 
otherwise......  

thanks.,
