But I suppose that can happen well enough. If you are >sure... glue it on as Don M advises. If you are not sure, and there are >other injuries to the instrument... I am sure they will show up soon enough. > Brekne Look for broken action brackets, or try to remove the action. I had one "fallover" in which the keybed actually separated. The result was that the bottom of the action was now closer to the strings, the damper levers hit strings when played and the action bolts were bent up by the action brackets which were then firmly wedged in place. The fallboard hinges haven't been the same since, either.
