Sticking Keys

[Richard Brekne]

Ok Timothy

You asked the question what would cause intermittent sticky keys, lots 
of things come to mind for sure, but the likelyhood that you will get an 
answer that might lead you in the right direction increases with the 
degree of detail you provide the list with as to exactly what the 
problem is.

This goes a good step farther... but there are many many things that can 
be interpreted as <<sticky keys>> which result from an action being 
exposed to too much humidity.

How old it the instrument, make and model, general condition, what 
exactly did you do in terms of adjustment, what things have you checked 
out already... etc.

Folks around here will be more then happy to provide you with all kinds 
of good information if you give em the right lead :)

Give us the story here..

Cheers
