Sticky ebony keytops?

[Stéphane Collin]

Hello John

You need a dampp chaser.  Look here : http://www.dampp-chaser.com/

The quick fix for an occasionnally sticking key is to move the key up 
and down while applying lateral pressure in order to rub firmly the 
bushing felt against the front key pin, which will compress that felt a bit.

Regards,

Stéphane Collin.
