John Lillico, RPT" Again close but no cigar for you either! :-) Your prize for being 'not correct' is that you get to pay in inflated dollars to attend convention :-( Roger J. said: "Well Jim, you're never obvious with these teaser's" Well excuse me sire but I twied, welly I did! P.S. Your second guess is wrong also. Michael J. said: "Could it be that the key end felts are just glancing the damper levers" Could be Mike, but it ain't. ;-) David I. said: Jim, "How about the key strip...catching the key buttons or something..." Very 'general' answer and the closest one so far. I'll leave the question open till late this afternoon...for a hint refer back to what I said originally, i.e. "The problem seemed to disappear with the action out of the piano, and before the cheek blocks and fallboard were reinstalled." To which I will add that when the fallboard was moved toward the closed position, the very tiniest bit, the sticking and clicking stopped. It sho nuf made me feel dull when I finally figured it out!!! :-) Jim Bryant (FL)
