I'll try my hand at this game. You guys will likely beat me up pretty quickly. 1940s all original Baldwin "L". Pretty good condition for its age. Piano teacher. Complaint: G#4 makes clicking/clunking noise - perhaps more noise on release of key, but some on blow. You won't hear it on a soft blow, but medium and harder will do it. Removed action. G#4 a bit noisy, but they all are. Don't think problem is in action. Find G#4 damper. Flick up from action cavity - "clickity-clunk". Put finger on underlever and one on damper head, push lift mechanism and return - "clunk". Replace damper head with quiet neighbor - "clunk". Nothing hitting sostenuto (is that spelled correctly?) lever. Not too many things left - what is causing noise? I thought I was going to be thanking Roger Jolly for an excellent tip he posted a while back - but that was not it either! Terry Farrell
