Hi Dave, Only one note on each that wouldn't regulate??!! You're a Star! I can't say any of these I've ever seen regulate well. But, I digress..... Is the hammer resting on the rail, or, more specifically, at which linkage does the action hang up? Is it at the sticker,wippen, or hammer, or other. I might suspect a tight jack pinning not allowing the jack to return under the butt all the way. Any more clues you can give?? William R. Monroe Dave S writes: SNIP Everything was there, but the lost motion ate up about a quarter inch of keydip. I looked for things that might be wedged in there, but I could find nothing. And I didn't have time to pull the action, having already spent most of the appointment pitch raising the pso and vacuuming out the various places where who-knows-what may have dwelt. Second piano, a just-delivered rental piano, had the same symptoms--again on only one note--but it was one of the newer type Baldwins with the rubber grommets hooked into the lifter fork, and the plastic nut on top. I checked linkage as much as I could, but could find nothing wedged anywhere on either instrument, though on the second one the connecter to the elbow was sitting up too high. Very frustrating. I explained to the owner and renter that this is one big reason why spinets in general should be avoided.
