Kohller And Campbell click

[Roger Jolly]

Hi Phil,
           If this product is manufactured by Samick, a good bet, will be
the knuckles that is the causing the problem.
A band aid fix and a means of isolating the problem.
Take a darning needle and work it between the knuckle leather and the felt
core. Roll the needle from one end of the knuckle leather to the other,
this will stretch the leather a little. Laterally needle the felt.
Try for results, if the noise is significantly reduced you need new knuckles.
Older models I think have Corfam for drop screw leather, another source of
clicks.
I have also found hammer tails too long, and clicking against the wippen
assist springs.
Let us know what you find.
Roger
