I put small jiffy leads on the back of the keys. Solved the problem. BUTTTTT, now several years later I think it may have been tight action centers on the whippen. Since it obviously worked when new, I doubt that drying out of the keys would cause that much of a problem, but if the whippen flange were creating drag the whippen would not be free enough to push the back of the key down. Just a few grams of friction would cause that problem. Carl, The piano is new, which is one big reason why I didn't want to go with jiffy leads. And it doesn't work. The jack springs are weak, and the keys are inconsistently weighted...way too much front lead. I tested for tight wippen pinning by feel without removing the action, but I could feel only normal resistance. If I didn't feel that the customers deserve to have something that actually plays for their hard-earned money, I'd leave this one alone....(theme from "Mission Impossible"). Jill, please pass the matches and lighter fluid. Dave Stahl ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
