Clicking Key

[Glen_Deligdisch@sil.org]

     Dear List,
     
     I tuned a Wurlitzer Spinet yesterday.  D4 makes an annoying click that 
     sounds like two pieces of wood being hit together every time it is 
     played.  In fact, if you press the key all the way down, let it up 
     just slightly (not enough for the Jack to return under the hammer 
     butt) and press it down again it will click again.  I spent around 20 
     minutes looking at the note from every angle and just could not see 
     what was causing it.  The hammer, damper flanges and pins were all 
     tight.  The jack is firmly against the let off and all felt is in 
     place.  The sound comes from the top and not the bottom of the action.
     
     Do any of you have suggestions or experience with what is making the 
     noise?
     
     Thanks,
     
     Glen
