   Love this kind of story.

I had a client with a key that wouldn't  reset on his console. He was a 
retired Highway Patrolman, so he just  glued a .38 slug to the back of the key. I 
pulled the action, &  checked everything out including the wip center. 
Everything was fine. I  noticed I could wiggle all the other notes by lifting the 
backchecks 1/16" and  they would reset when released slowly. Then I saw that on 
the offending note,  the back of that key had been originally sawn skinnier than 
the others, making  it light enough at the back that the weight of the wip + 
the weight of the  back of the key was not enough to counterbalance the front 
of the key. I just  left his slug on and tuned the piano. For once, the 
obvious solution was  correct !
