Hi Mike,
What did you have to do to repair the first two? That should give you
a clue. :-)

> Subject piano:  50-year old Bremen (by Gulbransen) console.  At the
annual tuning 2 weeks ago, a couple of keys were down.  Compact
action, not drop (no elbows).  Lifted the keys, they stayed up, the
notes played, but the keys stayed down after playing.  These notes, as
well as many others whose keys did return, had a high-friction
sluggish feel, and made a gritty rubbing noise when played.  I
repaired the 2 notes and gave a quote for the remaining notes, which
was declined.  Today she called and said there are many more keys down
(the 2 I repaired are OK).  What was wrong, and why did it happen?
