I can visually see the spring going *sproing* when I hear the click. The click happens when I mearly lift the hammer to the string slowly. There are a total of six and 2 are loud enough to hear when the case is closed and music is being played. >> Don, Many good points to check have been posted on this thread. However, one that I haven't noticed being mentioned is raised grain in the hammer butt spring slot. I have found this to be the culprit in several new instruments of varying brands. To fix, either burnish the slot or smooth it with a small riffler file and re-dag (is that a word?) the slot. I'm sure that the answer will show up out of one of these ideas. Allan Allan L.
