I wrote a week ago asking for advice on the Star console with the C1 key =
playing, but not playing louder when being struck forcefully.  I had =
checked all the regulation things, and was stumped.

Several fine words of wisdom were received for which I thank all who =
responded.

Joe Garrett gets the prize for the correct solution!

It was a broken key.  I feel pretty chagrined as I had been called to =
this piano several years ago to repair some vandalism damage including =
several broken keys.  They hadn't had the piano checked again since =
despite several followup calls.  Why I didn't think of this must be laid =
to temporary brain paralysis.  The key in question was undoubtedly =
cracked.  The crack began right at the button which did tend to hide it. =
 The crack continued halfway down the key, but was not obvious until the =
key was stressed.  A bit of shimming, a bit of glue and Voila!

Thank you all for your support.
